Area residents don’t need to travel abroad for an Australian-style “walkabout.”
With a 10-acre swatch of land that pays homage to the plants and trees found “down under,” the Boyce Thompson Arboretum aims to highlight the biodiversity and culture of Australia’s arid and semi-arid regions.
The Australian Deserts exhibit has more than 1,300 plants, including 321 species from 39 different plant families.
