Arboretum Villanova is the name of a former 222 acres (90 ha) arboretum located throughout the campus of Villanova University in Villanova, Pennsylvania. It is open to the public daily without charge.
Designated an arboretum in 1993,[1] the site has since lost this designation.[2] It contains roughly 1,500 trees of 254 different species.[3] Its collection includes sequoia, sycamore, pine, flowering pear, crabapple, cherry, and horse chestnut trees, along with many other varieties. Many are labeled.[4][5]
The trees are maintained by the campus Grounds Division, which is also responsible for strategic planning for the trees.[6]
