The Northeastern University Arboretum provides a living museum devoted to the planting and stewardship of plants grown for research, educational, and ornamental purposes. With more than 11 acres of arboretum green space, our diverse collection bestows a natural beauty as well as ecological benefits for the campus community.
We strive to create a welcoming space and encourage you to explore the Arboretum.
Northeastern University’s Arboretum was awarded a Level II Accreditation through ArbNet. Level II-accredited arboreta have 100 species, varieties or cultivars of trees or woody plants, an arboretum collections policy describing the development and professional management of plants, and have enhanced educational and public programming.
