Katzell Grove

Katzell Grove, on the Medford campus, provides an accessible off-road walkway through a grove with 48 trees of 14 different species, almost all of them native to this area. Named after the benefactors, Ray and Kitty Katzell, the grove was first planted in November 2002 and then made over in 2013 with more trees, the walkway, and benches.

Residents and staff enjoy the Grove on a regular basis — meandering along the paved pathway. It’s an especially lovely spot to visit as the sun is setting.

The Katzell Garden area within Katzell Grove contains a collection of peonies donated by Dr. Dean Kinsey of Moorestown in 2006.

This Google Map shows many of the trees in Katzell Grove. Zoom in on the map and click on an individual tree to find out more information, such as Common and Latin Name, and often a link to a photo of the tree.
