What a Great Pitcher Collection
We stopped and then came back after a rain shower to see the pitcher plant collection which is not to be missed. Clean restrooms and nice trails make this a must.

Best known for the Founders Oak
If you're an Auburn student you know how valuable the Donald E. Davis Arboretum is to the university and community. Although the primary objective is a living breathing outdoor museum, it is also a university classroom. I will focus on what the Davis Arboretum is best known for, The Founders Oak. I was fascinated by my visit. The native Southern trees and plants is the real gem of the arboretum. The crown jewel would be the "Founders Oak". The tree symbolizes the strong foundation and a deeply rooted history. The tree measures 88 feet tall by 47 inches wide. It's expected to see the start of the next century. The Oak serves as a symbol of the City of Auburn in history and spirit. There is much, more to the 13.6 acre arboretum that you will love to explore. They also rent out their space on the cheap for weddings. I encourage a visit.

Nice Arboretum
We stopped here briefly during Camp War Eagle to check it out. It is on the edge of campus. It is a very nice setting and it is a relaxing place to visit.
