"Healing Through Nature"
The MUSC Arboretum is always open to the public.

As part of a college and teaching hospital, our grounds are open year-round for exploration, learning, and relaxation. The MUSC Arboretum spans the entire main campus, offering a living landscape that blends nature with education and healing. With an inventory of more than 2,000 trees—from centuries-old live oaks to newly planted fruit saplings—our Arboretum reflects the rich biodiversity of the L

owcountry. Over 70% of the trees on campus are native species, supporting local ecosystems and promoting sustainability. Each tree is managed with an individualized care plan to help it thrive in our urban environment, ensuring a healthy, resilient canopy for generations to come. We are proud to be a member of TreeSC, a certified Tree Campus USA, and a recognized Bee Campus USA, reflecting our commitment to sustainability, biodiversity, and environmental stewardship.
