Old Main: New Directions in Landscape U of Arizona Campus Arboretum Tour

The University of Arizona’s beloved and iconic Old Main encapsulates the larger campus history of landscape evolution and innovation. Since the campus grounds have been used as a living laboratory, over time plant selection, design preferences, and landscape management practices have evolved increasingly toward a model of sustainability for urban deserts.

Tours start at the University of Arizona Memorial Fountain, west of Old Main at 9:30 am and last 60-90 minutes. Campus visitor parking is available and free on most weekends. Please bring water and a hat.
