Adkins Arboretum relies on contributions to support its forward-thinking vision as a native plant garden and preserve. The Arboretum is dedicated to teaching about the native flora of the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain by displaying plants in their natural habitats. Recognizing that the greatest threat to botanical diversity is land development, and that the greatest development pressures are on our coasts, the Arboretum is addressing an urgent need.
