The University of Georgia Campus Arboretum is an arboretum located across the University of Georgia campus in Athens, Georgia. It is open daily without charge. Today's arboretum is the third near campus. The first was established by Malthus Ward in 1833 next to his home at 126 Dearing Street, which then faced to the east on Finley Street. The garden was within the area between Finley, Reese, Pope, and both sides of Broad Street. Although the garden was sold in 1856, and the proceeds used to pay for the iron fence around UGA's north campus, it is possible that some of the trees and their offspring continue to live in the area. A historic marker was erected in 2013 to commemorate the garden.
