The Ambler Arboretum of Temple University is a historic public garden serving as a living laboratory for students and the surrounding community. Our programs promote learning about horticulture, understanding of our relationship between people and the environment, and awareness of both the need for and means to achieve greater environmental responsibility. What is now the Ambler Arboretum began as the Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women (PSHW) in 1911. Today this 187-acre garden is committeed to celebrating and preserving the historic significance of the Temple Ambler Campus.
