John A. Finch Arboretum
- Botanical garden
- Regional draw
- Spokane
John A. Finch Arboretum follows a wooded Spokane landscape with labeled trees and shrubs that reveal contrasts in form, bark, foliage, and seasonal color.

The setting encourages a slower walk in which individual specimens matter as much as broad views. It is especially rewarding for visitors interested in how a collection changes through the year.
Check current path conditions and visitor rules before setting out. Stay within permitted areas, respect collection boundaries and planting work, and allow suitable footwear for outdoor ground that can be wet, uneven, or seasonally icy.
