Doelstelling
If you visit, don't expect a well maintained garden. The arboretum is part of the welknown Forest of Zoniën near Brussels. Because it is a forest-arboretum, the natural and ecological environment is important, so maintanance is extensif.
Ontwikkeling
Right now, the forest-service is setting up a new management-plan and the arboretum is getting rediscovered by everyone.
