The Northland Arboretum, located in the heart of Brainerd and Baxter, was founded with the closure of the Brainerd landfill in 1972. The 540+ acre green space is a member supported non-profit that focuses on education, recreation and conservation. This unique property has beautiful gardens tucked beneath mature trees that make it a glorious place to have an outdoor wedding.
The Visitor Center has two levels, each with their own kitchenette, to host celebrations. The upper level room looks out onto a gorgeous deck and boasts high timber framed ceilings. The lower level decor has recently been updated and spills out into a downstairs pavilion area.
No matter what the season, the Northland Arboretum is perfect place to host your party or wedding. Give us a call at the Arb, 829-8770, to secure your date!
