Campuses:
Minnesota is home to four distinct ecosystems: prairie grassland, deciduous forest, tallgrass aspen parkland and coniferous forest. Because of the college’s presence in each of these regions, our agricultural and natural resources scientists can compare and contrast how each area responds to a variety of changing environmental factors.
The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum provides a community and national resource for horticultural and environmental information, research and public education. The 1,137-acre landscape in Chaska, Minnesota, holds magnificent gardens, model landscapes, and natural areas—from woodlands and wetlands to prairie—with extensive collections of northern-hardy plants. The Horticultural Research Center is located a half-mile west of the main Arboretum campus. The Center develops and tests varieties of shade trees, shrubs, fruit trees, berries, grapes and ornamental grasses.
