Jones Arboretum and Botanical Gardens

Jones Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, also known as Jones Arboretum and Natural Gardens, and now called Read's Creek Nursery, is an arboretum and for-profit plant nursery located on Route 14 in Readstown, Wisconsin, in Vernon County, Wisconsin, United States.[1]

The community arboretum was established in 1973 by Royce Jones, a nuclear engineer, in conjunction with a tree nursery and his own gardens. After his retirement, it now features more than 100 kinds of trees, as well as some 700 non-woody plants, including 400 perennials. The plants are available for sale, or purely for learning and enjoyment.
