Nature
The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in Chaska grew from horticultural research begun in 1907 and became an arboretum in 1958 under Leon C. Snyder. Part of the University of Minnesota, it developed a strong identity through work on cold-hardy plants for northern conditions, including the Honeycrisp apple and Northern Lights azaleas. Expanded into the state’s largest and most comprehensive horticultural site, it now spans 1,137 acres with more than 5,000 plant varieties. Formal gardens, demonstration plantings, woodland, prairie, and marsh are joined by a conservatory, a horticultural library, trails, and a scenic drive for study and recreation.
