Horticulture Park is well known and we'll loved by Boilermakers on Purdue's campus. This month, the Purdue Arboretum and the Purdue University Grounds Department are beginning an overall improvement plan of the park. If you have recently visited, you may have noticed some plants have been marked with pink ribbon or orange spray paint. Arboretum staff have marked these plants as part of an ongoing management initiative that involves the removal of some plants, and the planting of a number of new plant types, many of which are native to Indiana. As well, there will be several new plant signs added adjacent to trees and shrubs throughout the park. These signs link directly to the Purdue Arboretum website and platform.
