Davis Arboretum is managed by the Auburn University College of Sciences and Mathematics. The arboretum has several collections of plants native to Alabama, including a collection of native carnivorous plants and a coastal dune collection. When I was there in October 2016, several of the trees were wrapped for a yarn bomb exhibit.
