Come and enjoy our walking tour through a gallery of dazzling seasonal lights. Winter Lights at the Arboretum is a nod to the past, present and future work of researchers at the University of Minnesota and their work to introduce cold hardy plants that will thrive in our Minnesota climate. Five of the twenty displays feature plants that the University researchers are actively working on to create plants that will continue to thrive as our climate changes.
