The Arboretum: Awe-inspiring Natural Beauty

For a taste of the exotic, take a stroll through The Arboretum.

Only in Arcadia can you wake up one morning and say, "I want to see a peacock today," and actually see one. Not many cities provide the opportunity for its residents to experience nature's most beautiful and bountiful gifts, unless perhaps one lives in the far away exotic lands of Asia or the Middle East.

is 127-acres of botanical gardens including the Madagascar Spiny Forest, Australian Discovery Area, Tropical Bowl, Redwood Grove, Rose Garden, Citris Grove, Organic Vegetable Garden, Palm and Bamboo Collections, and Daylily and Magnolia Collections, to name but a few. So tomorrow morning, enjoy your coffee while strolling next to peacocks and onto paths of earth's most unique places.
