Future Projects:

The Edwin and Frances Hunter Arboretum would love to add a new Visitor’s Center and Nursery to the grounds within the next several years. Below are the proposed renderings for the Visitor’s center. If you would like to assist in these future endeavors, please specify where you would prefer your donations to go within the Palomar College Foundation Donation Page to direct donations to either building.
