What is an Arboretum?

The Malagos Garden Resort has been known to be a family and nature friendly resort in Davao city. Different types of plants are taken care of that range from small herbs to big and tall trees. They are also being propagated to share the resources and blessings of life in the resort. These plants that are successfully multiplied is how we adhere to sustainable agritourism. In recent years, the resort has some areas which have been specifically enhanced to further our initiatives. These places are not only for picture perfect shots but also for education, scientific research, and preservation. These areas are also known as an arboretum.

What Is An Arboretum

Arboretum, derived from the Latin words arbor (trees) and etum (collection), is an area constructed with the intention of planting specimens of ligneous plants. It simply is a botanical garden specialized on trees or woody plants or an arboretum. Arboreta all around the world perform scientific study and conservation, as well as public outreach and education, and the management of attractive and unique tree collections. 

Arborists have the contacts and skills that can have a significant influence on arboreta's development and professionalism. Arborists might work with current or future arboreta, or even create their own, to promote tree planting and conservation. Basically they are gardeners with certain certificates that would prove they are arboriculturists that are well versed with trees and woody plants.

The arboretum at the resort acts as home for our rehabilitated birds as well. We have discovered, built, and opened a dedicated site for bird watching in the best nature garden resort in Davao city. This expresses how important a place full of tall trees is to the ecosystem.

Arboreta's Importance to Communities

Arboreta are living labs, outdoor schools, and sources of inspiration for a society that is greener, healthier, and more attractive. They offer communities with greenspace where residents may rest and rejuvenate. Numerous scientific studies have shown that trees have a significant positive influence on the emotional and physical health of visitors. Arboreta enhances the community's quality of life by providing chances to learn about the natural world.

Arboreta are not only attractive, but they also educate the public about the need for tree protection. Arboreta is a significant prospective partner for members of the arboriculture sector because of its horticultural and scientific understanding, as well as its broad public outreach.

An Arboretum does not have to be really tall and big trees. We all start small. Just like the palm trees that are available in the garden. We could have them potten for residence areas with limited spaces. 

Sharing Trees Is Giving Fresh Air

Malagos Garden Resort works with professional landscapists and environmental consultants who are very happy to share tips on how to take care of the plants of your choice. For them giving away a tree or plant is not about the income. It's entrusting something our gardeners took care of from a small tree bud to a tall tree to take care of it just as they would.


The tall trees around our resort makes a Davao Outdoor Restaurant more lovely to eat under the trees. We may set up tables under shaded areas if requested, especially by the creek where trees are more populated. We could reserve the best spot under the trees for you. Just make one call and we will prepare everything for you.
