HUNTINGTON UNIVERSITY ARBORETUM AND BOTANICAL GARDEN

The 'Huntington University Arboretum and Botanical Garden', formerly 'Huntington College Arboretum and Botanical Garden', also known as the 'Loew Botanical Garden and Arboretum', is an arboretum and botanical garden located on the campus of Huntington University at 2303 College Avenue, Huntington, Indiana.
The arboretum was established in 1935. It is located on hilly terrain with creek bottom, ravines,
banks, and naturally wooded upland areas. Parts of the original arboretum were flooded in the 1960s to create Lake Sno-Tip. The botanical garden at one time included a specimen of every plant growing in Huntington County, Indiana. The Arboretum and botanical garden are no longer actively cultivated.
The related Huntington University Herbarium, founded in 1903, includes approximately 10,000 specimens. Most were collected from Huntington County and the Upper Wabash Valley Basin between 1905 and 1950.
