About Stanley M. Rowe Arboretum

Started in 1926 by Stanley and Dorothy Rowe as a private estate garden for collecting plants from many regions, the grounds now operate as a public arboretum. Its 9.75 acres emphasize displays of evergreens paired with companion plantings, and signage and programming aim to teach visitors about the plants and the site's history. The Village of Indian Hill owns the arboretum, which is run as a non-profit funded by an endowment and by member and visitor support. Visitors should note a temporary vehicle-access change tied to 2026–2027 renovations and a no-pets rule in effect since 2024.
