Pecan Grove

With its shady canopy, the Pecan Grove is the perfect location for a peaceful picnic. This space also serves as the centerpiece of our famous fall festival, Autumn at the Arboretum, featuring our internationally acclaimed Pumpkin Houses. It is large, comfortable, inviting and full of a variety of blooming plants and trees that keep it beautiful year round.

Shade and Amazing Attractions

From early spring when the tulips and cherry blossom trees bloom, through summer with the verdant grass, and into early fall with the beautiful color on the Crape Myrtles, Pecan Grove offers shade and amazing attractions.

Guests take lots of photos of the pumpkin houses during the fall, and enjoy calm picnics through the spring and summer.

Spring ushers in a stunning sight as over 100 blooming Japanese Cherry Trees surround the Pecan Grove. In the fall, over 90,000 pumpkins, gourds and squash come together to form the nationally acclaimed Pumpkin Village during Autumn at the Arboretum.
