Palmer Square Arboretum

Introduction to the Palmer Square Arboretum

Palmer Square Park is more than a park; it’s a living arboretum showcasing diverse tree species. With guidance  from the Morton Arboretum, we’ve partnered with them for over forty years to cultivate a collection of resilient hybridized elms and other species to ensure ecological health and beauty.
