Our Botanical Gardens Expert Says:
Mild-temperate zone plants thrive on the Delmarva Peninsula. So lush is the vegetation on the Salisbury State University in Salisbury, Maryland, that the entire campus was declared an arboretum in 1988. With more than 750 indigenous and exotic species registered in their database, a leisurely stroll through Salisbury State University or an impromptu picnic is a sublime way to spend a carefree afternoon. The arboretum is complemented by a sculpture garden specializing in Beaux Arts works. This is where Rodin meets Rhododendron.
From Salisbury State University Arboretum - Salisbury, Maryland:
Our campus is a place for the scientific study and public display of various species of woody and herbaceous plants. The school began its collection of plants in 1985 and in the spring of 1988 was declared a national arboretum. The arboretum has become an integral part of the 150-acre campus and exists to provide an attractive landscape setting, conducive to learning, that demonstrates the diversity of the plant kingdom.
