The John A. Finch Arboretum is located in southwest Spokane on 65 acres of wooded hills along the Garden Springs Creek.  The Arboretum is a botanical collection of trees and woody plants that have been labeled for field study.  The collection has been planted along the Garden Springs Creek and contains a wide variety of native and cultivated plant material which is compatible with growing conditions in Spokane.

Visitors to the Arboretum can enjoy the varied landscapes which range from a native pine forest to a shady glen filled with rhododendrons.  There are seasonal activities planned year-round and tours are available.

Download a Finch Arboretum Walking Guide for a self-guided tour of some of the Arboretum's collections and specimen trees. See more photos of the Arboretum on our Facebook page!

Arboretum grounds are open daily during standard park hours.  Admission is free.  For additional information please call the Arboretum at 509.624.4832.
