Cox Arboretum History, Garden Stewardship, and Living Collections

Cox Arboretum MetroPark grew from a community effort to preserve open space and create a living museum of plants for the Dayton region.  Cox Arboretum and Gardens MetroPark owes its beginnings to the generosity of James M. Cox, former Ohio governor and newspaper publisher.  The James M. Cox Jr. Arboretum Foundation became a nonprofit organization in 1963, and the arboretum later became part of the Montgomery County Park District, now Five Rivers MetroParks, in 1972. The foundation continues to support Cox Arboretum through a public-private partnership focused on education, horticulture, conservation, and long-term garden stewardship.

The arboretum’s designed landscape has continued to evolve over time.  In 2004, the foundation hired internationally recognized landscape architect Francois Goffinet to create a master plan for the grounds, helping guide the park’s garden development and visitor experience. Later additions and improvements, including the Water Garden, Monet Bridge, Tree Tower, plant collections, gardens, and accessible paths, have helped Cox remain one of the region’s most refined and peaceful public green spaces.

For photography, Cox Arboretum feels different from broad prairie parks or riverfront skyline views. Its beauty is more composed and intimate... flowers arranged in layers, paths softened by foliage, water reflecting sky and structure, and gardenscapes that change quietly through the seasons.

Cox Arboretum Gardens, Trails, Water Features, and Seasonal Blooms

  • Water Garden and Monet Bridge: Reflective water surfaces, ornamental plantings, bridge views, and graceful garden structure create balanced gardenscape compositions with a soft, impressionistic feel.
  • Woodland Wildflower Garden: Open views, grasses, wildflowers, and naturalized plantings that connect the arboretum’s cultivated spaces to broader meadow and prairie-inspired landscapes.
  • Meadow View Garden: Offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, this garden is the perfect spot for meditation and reflection. It showcases a harmonious blend of prairie and wetland ecosystems.
  • Tree Tower and Elevated Views:  A distinctive overlook that gives visitors a different perspective on Cox Arboretum’s gardens, trees, paths, and surrounding landscape.
  • Walking Trails and Garden Paths: Paths that wind through woods, meadows, gardens, and plant collections, offering layered perspectives shaped by light, foliage, texture, and season.
  • Seasonal Blooms and Plant Collections: Flowering beds, peonies, lilacs, magnolias, iris, native plants, and carefully maintained garden collections that give Cox Arboretum its changing color and horticultural character.
