Robert J. Huckshorn Arboretum - Jupiter, Florida - Arboretums on Waymarking.com

Dr. Huckshorn's Vision for the Arboretum: “I have always found that an arboretum provides a calm and tranquil place for students, faculty, staff and townspeople to visit and to momentarily escape from the bustle of everyday life. The arboretum will become a part of the unique Greenway that is a central part of the Abacoa concept. As such, it will serve as a teaching and research resource, expanding the educational mission of the MacArthur Campus. And that will make a lasting contribution to the campus and to the community.”

In a relatively small area, this arboretum contains a good variety of plants from four different ecosystems: mixed hardwood swamp, pine flatwoods, tropical hardwood hammock, and oak/cabbage palm hammock. There is also a butterfly garden on the edge of the arboretum. A comfortable gazebo has been provided for a wee rest.
