Situated on the site of the old Barnard’s Inn Farm in North Tisbury, the Polly Hill Arboretum has been recognized for its collection of rare trees and shrubs grown from seed by the late Polly Hill, a pioneering horticulturist and longtime Vineyard resident.

The arboretum was incorporated as a nonprofit in 1998. It includes 20 acres of idyllic farmland-cum-ornamental planting and 40 acres of conserved forest. The land is crisscrossed by ancient stone walls and 18th century rural architecture.
