GRAND ISLAND. Initially established in 1936, these botanical gardens attract nearly a million visitors each year. In fact, folks can’t seem to get enough of NPBG’s 100 acres of manicured beds and plantings, which are maintained by a select group of students from the Park’s horticultural school. The arboretum features a wealth of specimen shrubs and trees, including flowering cherry trees. Other specialty gardens include those devoted to roses, herbs and vegetables. You’ll also see rhododendrons, irises and a wide variety of perennials.
