Why visit Klehm in October?
Our property began as the Rockford Nurseries in the early 1920s and matured into a public garden and arboretum: Rockford's Living Museum is home to 155 acres of beautiful fall colors because of our diverse collection of trees, shrubs, grasses, and nearly a century of horticultural development. Enjoy the splendor of the season with a tour of Klehm. Families are welcome to bring picnics, canine friends and cameras.
