A project of Colorado State University Extension at the Mesa County Fairgrounds

Maps:

We are currently in the process of developing maps of each of the gardens. Those will be placed on the Internet as they are finished. Maps are also available in the brochure holders at The Arboretum.

The Crabapple tree collection extends from the far east end of the parking lot to the main plant area. Maps for this lengthy area have not yet been completed.

The Turfgrass collection is located immediately north of the crabapple collection. These are next to the south edge of the parking lot. To check out this grass collection walk through the openings in the split-rail fence. Identification tags area on both sides of the fence. These plots are designed to be walked on so you can determine which grass is the best for you.
