Hiking Evergreen Arboretum and Gardens

This arboretum is located in northern Everett and is free and open to the public. Start out at American Legion Park and enter the arboretum along a path that parallels the parking area and showcases medium-sized trees that are great for the home garden.

From the arboretum entrance visitors will connect to a series of looping and intersecting paths that go past the different themed areas: a fern garden, a maple grove, a rock garden, and many others. Most of the plants here are cultivated species, but there is a small section of native plants as well.

This is a great destination on its own, but it is close to several parks and can be combined with those to make a longer neighborhood walk. It's an especially nice side trip from the Mill Town Trail.
