Simmons Arboretum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simmons Arboretum 10 acres (40,000 m²) is a new 10 acre arboretum in Madison, Mississippi, USA. It is city-owned, a work in progress, and open to the public.
The Arboretum was created from land donated to the city by Dr. and Mrs. Walter Simmons, and has evolved from unimproved land to a nature walk. Nearly a mile (1.6 km) of walking trails now exist, and plants have been identified and cataloged. Ongoing plans include further design, planting, and labeling of the species.
