Morden Research Station is an arboretum in Morden, Manitoba. In 1924, the arboretum was started by W.R. Leslie, adding to the Agriculture Canada Research Station established in 1915.[1] Since then, the agriculture station has introduced dozens of new fruit, vegetable, field and ornamental crops. In 1989, a 5,100 sq. metre office and laboratory complex was opened.[2] That year, the arboretum donated its old barn to Pembina Thresherman's Museum, and the barn was moved to the new location in 1990.[3] The arboretum and its landscaped grounds and picnic facilities are open to the public daily during the summer months from May until September.
