Edith J. Carrier Arboretum
Beginning Monday November 29th our Pavilion parking lot will be unavailable to visitors through the winter/March 2022. Parking will be available in the Frances Plecker Educational Center lot and R-5 lot and along University Boulevard as long as the Arboretum Event signs are posted.
Visiting the Arboretum
The Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, a woodland sanctuary on the James Madison University campus, is a public urban garden and forested greenspace that preserves native plant species, provides opportunities for research, and promotes knowledge of the botanical and natural world for people of all ages.
