We are currently raising funds to build the Water Garden, a grand and inspiring pedestrian gateway to the Arboretum. As the first area viewed from Park Avenue and the Penn State campus, the Water Garden will beckon visitors to the botanic gardens and the Arboretum’s natural areas beyond. The Water Garden will wrap around our iconic Soaring Waters Fountain with a series of terraced flower gardens and trees, showcasing an array of plant species and providing both educational value and horticultural inspiration.
