The East Texas Arboretum and Botanical Society (over 100 acres) is an arboretum and botanical garden located at 1601 Patterson Road, Athens, Texas. It is open daily; an admission fee is charged.

The arboretum was established in 1993 on the site of a former truck farm, with dry hills, hardwood forest, seasonal bogs, and permanent wetlands along Walnut Creek. Volunteer work is ongoing. At present the site features its arboretum and a variety of gardens, including butterfly, cottage, display, herb, kitchen, native plant, perennial, research, and rose gardens. It also contains a historical homestead, koi ponds, and hiking trails.
