Arboretum

An arboretum is a designated area for the growing and study of a variety of trees and shrubs. It serves as a living museum where different species are cultivated for research, education, and enjoyment. Arboreta often include labeling of the plants for identification, as well as walking paths for visitors to explore the diversity of trees. They play an important role in conservation, biodiversity studies, and environmental education, making them valuable resources for both scientists and the public who appreciate nature.
