PALMA J. WILSON ROSE GARDEN
Nothing says "I Love You" more than a rose. And here you have hundreds to choose from. What's more, the walls lining the sides of the garden are alive with several varieties and colors of clematis. And, there are leisurely walkways, a beautiful fountain and gazebo to boot!

"ELBOW" AT THREE-MILE DRIVE
A little bit more than half way along Three-Mile Drive, visitors are treated to a sweeping view of the Arboretum's Eastern Campus. With the Hedge Garden on the left and the iconic Red Barn with the new Bee & Pollinator Discovery Center across the rolling field in the distance, your proposal won't be the only thing to take her breath away!

JAPANESE GARDEN "TEA HOUSE"
Known for its peaceful serenity, the Japanese Garden is a favorite spot for many Arboretum visitors. Starry-eyed couples can delight in Japanese Iris, Red Buds and sculpted shrubs, surrounded by a waterfall, a koi pond, Japanese statues and meandering pathways that lead to a rustic Tea House.
