Athens Texas

The East Texas arboretum in Athens Texas was established on the site of a former truck farm, with dry hills, hardwood forest, seasonal bogs, and permanent wetlands along Walnut Creek.
Thursday for our P day, we headed out toward Tyler Texas by way of Athens. There was an old Ranch house still in tact to visit
Lots of wood to chop to keep the ranch house warm


Volunteer work is ongoing. At present the site features its arboretum and a variety of gardens, including butterfly, cottage, display, herb, kitchen, native plant, perennial, research, and rose gardens. It also contains a historical homestead, koi ponds, and hiking trails.



A visit out near the Bog and wetlands.
Dustin could use this corn planter

A nice visit if your ever passing through Athens Texas

Oh my, more wood to chop!
