Rockdale County Master Gardener Association’s Memorial Arboretum

The Rockdale County Master Gardeners (RCMG) Memorial Arboretum, is a five-acre section of woods on the grounds of the Georgia International Horse Park.  Members have spent over 500 hours clearing underbrush, identifying trees and making 2,300 feet of walking paths.  This retreat away from the traffic and noise is a serene oasis, a peaceful place to visit, reflect and meditate simply, nature at its best.  Visitors can Request to plant a tree, or adopt one of the 37 species found in the arboretum, in honor or memory of a loved one or friend.   Beautiful posts are available with ID plaques which can be dedicated to a family member or group.

A popular feature of the Arboretum is the one-mile public trail used for walking and riding horses. It it located between the Arboretum and the Yellow River. The Arboretum is unique in that it was founded and is maintained by Master Gardeners.  A dedicated community of volunteers committed to sharing their knowledge and love of trees and the environment with the greater community.
