Marywood University Arboretum
- Marywood University Arboretum
The Marywood University Arboretum (115 acres) is an arboretum across the campus of Marywood University, 2300 Adams Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania. It is open daily without charge.
The campus was declared an arboretum in 1975 in honor of Sister Maria Laurence Maher, then Professor of Biological Sciences, and received its official designation as such in 1997. It now contains 44 species of trees (105 varieties), with a comparable collection of shrubs, as well as ornamental grasses, and perennial, biennial, and annual flowers. The addition of a 'hedge maze' in September 2006 was decided upon in hopes of attracting tourists in the area.
