Nestled among the historic landscape of Southwestern New England, the Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens is a natural preserve like no other in this region. The property features 93 acres of irreplaceable open space highlighting the best of what Connecticut's native landscape offers: magnificent award-winning Champion trees, charming gardens, wildflower meadows, red maple wetlands and boardwalks, woodland walking trails, varied wildlife, and native habitats.
Visitors at the Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens discover the exceptional beauty of the property’s habitats, trails, gardens, majestic trees and plant collections. The Bartlett’s pristine and expansive, 93-acre property is a “living classroom” to many children and adults who enroll in classes and camp programs each year. New blooms and discoveries teem each season, inspiring visitors and students of all ages to cherish the earth’s resources and protect it for generations to come.
Jane von Trapp began her tenure as CEO of the Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens in August 2014. With more than 40 years of horticultural experience and having majored in Plant and Soil Science, Jane has authored three how-to landscaping books and is the U.S. researcher and writer for DK Publishing’s A-Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants.
