About John A. Finch Arboretum

The Finch Arboretum covers wooded hills in southwest Spokane. Its labeled collection of trees and shrubs follows Garden Springs Creek and mixes native species with cultivated plants that suit the local climate. Visitors can walk through settings that range from a native pine forest to a shaded glen of rhododendrons. Seasonal activities run through the year, guided tours are offered, and a self-guided walking guide is available for download. Pets are not permitted, though service animals are.
