Visitors can also see several demonstration gardens including heather, sensory, gazebo and drought-tolerant gardens.

The 12-acre arboretum, established in 1978 on the northernmost bluff of the campus, serves the community and the the college as an outdoor laboratory. Community workshops and classes are offered throughout the year at the arboretum.
