About us

Boone County Arboretum is Northern Kentucky’s premier arboretum, and one of only a handful in the Cincinnati area. Friends of Boone County Arboretum is a volunteer organization that helps increase awareness of the Arboretum in the greater community, writes for various grants, provides a “gift shop” of souvenir items, and hosts several fundraising events throughout the year such as the Dogwood Dash, Autumn Affair, and spring/fall plant sales.
