A Local Showcase
Donated by George and Freda Chandler, this 50-acre preserve is currently under development. When complete, this first-class arboretum will showcase native plant and tree varieties and offer visitors tips on cultivating native vegetation.It will also serve as a living laboratory for local students and will provide an aesthetic and educational environment for Baytown’s residents and visitors. One of its primary goals will be to function as a repository for plants native to the Coastal Plains of South Texas and to promote diversity of plant life in the landscape. A visitor’s center is planned, as are trails, outdoor seating areas, ponds, fountains, sculptures and memorials. The arboretum is operated by the City of Baytown.
