CBHL 2017 Annual Meeting Minnesota: Navigation in the Twin Cities

Navigation in the Twin Cities

The Andersen Horticultural Library is located at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.  

The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is located in Chaska, MN  (and partly within Chanhassen) , a southwestern suburb of the Twin Cities.  

The Conference hotel is located 4 miles east of the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in the suburb of Chanhassen, MN., another southwestern suburb of the Twin Cities.    

Chanhassen is approximately 20 miles from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, and unfortunately there is very little public transportation.
