View from the daylily collection to a hillside of ripening wheat
Nestled among the wheat fields of the fertile Palouse hills, bordered on the north by a fine campus, and carved from land once vacated and degraded, the beautiful Arboretum at the University of Idaho is a living museum of trees within a landscaped setting of manicured gardens, ever-vital with continued introductions to the collection. It is an Arboretum that “holds its own” with the more well-known and is a treasure to a region that derives its bounty from the most recent of planet-wide geological events, the Pleistocene Ice Age.
