Welcome to THE
TROCHU ARBORETUM

Come for an hour… Stay for the day!

We are open daily from dawn to dusk

Nestled in the heart of Alberta, the Trochu Arboretum is a living sanctuary where nature thrives, and the community comes together to celebrate the beauty of trees, plants, and wildlife. Our Arboretum is a place of learning, relaxation, and discovery—a space where visitors of all ages can connect with nature through winding pathways, vibrant gardens, and a diverse collection of trees and beautiful gardens of flowers in bloom from May until October. During the month of December, vibrant lights and community come together during the Forest of Lights celebration.
