"First opened in 1977, the Humber Arboretum is a joint venture of the City of Toronto, Humber College, and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The Arboretum presents a balance of ornamental gardens and diverse natural areas. It is dedicated to showcasing an extensive collection of woody and herbaceous plants, and protecting and restoring habitat for native plants and animals. The Arboretum makes a unique contribution to life in the Greater Toronto Area by providing educational opportunities in horticulture and environmental stewardship for anyone who visits.
Visitors to the Arboretum range from school children learning about the environment for the first time, to adults enjoying a pleasant stroll. Humber College students also develop their skills here in a broad range of programs including Horticulture, Arboriculture, Sustainable Building & Energy Technology, Architecture, Interior Design, Education, Health Sciences, Culinary, Hospitality, and Public Relations."
