The Arboretum was officially opened on World Forestry Day on the 21st of March 1925.
The Sherwood Arboretum started life as Brisbane’s second botanic garden as a place to showcase and study Australian native trees.
This year, Sherwood Arboretum is celebrating 100 years and will be hosting a big anniversary celebration on March 23, 2025.
