Kuhnert Arboretum
located in Aberdeen, South Dakota 

The city of Aberdeen in South Dakota is responsible for this arboretum which is also part of a disc golf course and borders Moccasin Creek. Apparently, they were supposed to be moving the golf course to redesign the arboretum, but it's difficult to find information on whether that has come to pass. The arboretum spans 19 acres and contains deciduous, coniferous and ornamental trees as well as large shrubs.

There is an Interpretive Center, Sculpture Garden, Great Meadow, Riparian Exploration Trail, Lookout Points and Nature Garden.






Gardens To See provides the latest travel and tourist information for public and private gardens around the world, but it is subject to change and difficult to maintain. If you have further information or pictures you would like to add, contact us.

Please make sure to call the garden in advance to check for changes in times and availablity. Some gardens have seasonal hours only.
