The University of Louisville’s Belknap Campus is part of the Kentucky Garden Trail, a tour of the state’s 12 most beautiful gardens and arboreta. UofL joins other notable locations on the tour, including Bernheim Forest, Waterfront Botanical Gardens and Yew Dell Botanical Gardens.
Trees bring natural beauty to campus and play an essential role in UofL’s initiatives to create a sustainable campus environment. The university’s value and investment in aesthetic landscaping and diversified tree planting means the entire campus has been officially designated an arboretum.
The Tree Tour – where visitors can make stops throughout campus to see various tree species – is now featured on the statewide trail. Participants who walk the Tree Tour will receive a stamp on their garden trail passport as part of the Kentucky Garden Trail passport program.
UofL is committed to maintaining a green oasis in an urban setting and is proud of its designation as a “Tree Campus USA” by the national Arbor Day Foundation.
