Join us for a tour of one of, if not the, smallest arboretum in the world! Walnut Point is an ArbNet accredited, 0.11 acre property situated in the dense Point neighborhood of Newport.

Owners Maureen Cronin and Mark Marosits have used fastigiate and dwarf varieties to creatively utilize the limited space while creating a harmonious landscape that is an extension of their indoor living space. The property proves that an arboretum isn’t about size and grandeur, it is about the variety of the plant collection. Maureen and Mark, along with Living Collections manager Joe Verstandig, will guide a tour through the property to detail the collection that forms this “microarboretum.” Plant highlights include the lost gordonia, espaliered fruit trees, and the rare European medlar. Afterwards, Joe will lead the tour into the historic neighborhood and discuss some of its most interesting plants.
