Arboretum
Timothy's Campus is a Nationally Recognized Arboretum
Over 60 varieties of trees are on our 24-acre campus, including a row of Osage Orange trees that predate 1960, when the property was still a mushroom farm. Mr. John Harkema, a former high school teacher, has planted most of the trees over the past 50 years. Timothy is the first preschool-12th grade school in Illinois, and only the fifth preschool-12 grade school in the nation, to be recognized as an arboretum.
