The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum has been named as America's best botanical garden by readers of USA Today, open to the public for free each third Monday of the month between 8:00am and 5:00pm. The 1,137-acre botanical garden and arboretum is located approximately four miles outside of Minneapolis suburb Chanhassen and was originally developed in 1907 as the city's Horticultural Research Center. Today, it serves as Minneapolis' most diverse horticultural site, home to more than 5,000 varieties of plants, trees, and shrubs. Visitors can explore the beautiful Meyers-Deats Conservatory, which houses orchid and bromeliad collections and a large horticultural research library, or peruse the facility's outdoor gardens, which include a Japanese garden and several demonstration gardens. The gardens may be explored on foot or as part of vehicular tours around the facility's three-mile access road.
