Meet the newest additions to the Burlington Arboretum, the Dogwood Swing and the Oak Swing. 🌳

These two sculptural swings are more than just a place to sit. They're an invitation to slow down, look around, and take in the beauty of this place we all share.

We're so grateful for the collaboration that made this dream a reality. Thank you to the City of Burlington for their continued support of our green spaces, and to Beechwood Metalworks for crafting these stunning pieces with such care and artistry.

We'd love to see you out here enjoying them. Tag us in your photos!
