Arboretum: Overview

Welcome to the Henry Schmieder Arboretum of Delaware Valley College, a horticultural jewel in the heart of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Just west of Doylestown, the Arboretum encompasses 60 acres of Delaware Valley College, a four-year college with a long tradition of practical horticultural education.

The Arboretum complements the mission of the college's Department of Ornamental Horticulture and Environmental Design by providing a living laboratory of mature trees and remnant native woodland. The Arboretum's designed gardens serves as a "green resource" for the surrounding community.

Seasonal beauty combines with the Georgian architecture of many of the college's buildings to make the Henry Schmieder Arboretum a pleasant location here in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia.
