Wright Park Arboretum and W. W. Seymour Conservatory

This 27-acre garden gem boasts a collection of 145 species of native and exotic
trees, of which 450 are labeled, and many are over 100 years old. The stars of the
garden are the 18 trees honored with the moniker Washington State Champion
Trees. There are some of the largest trees of their species.

Reigning over Wright Park is the W. W. Seymour Conservatory. This regal glass
conservatory was constructed in 1908 and is listed on the city of Tacoma,
Washington State and national historical registers. Featuring a twelve-sided
central dome, and 3,000 pieces of glass, it houses more than 200 orchids, and 250
exotic plant species. Special exhibits rotate on a seasonal basis.
