Swiss Pines

Swiss Pines is a 19-acre (7.7 ha) arboretum and Japanese garden located on Charlestown Road, Malvern, Pennsylvania. It is open several days a week in the warmer months; an admission fee is charged for groups.

Swiss Pines was established by Arnold Bartschi (1903-1996), born in Switzerland and by the mid-1930s, owner of the J. Edwards Shoe Company. In 1957, he purchased the 200 acres (81 ha) of the former Llewellyn estate, and during the next 30 years he developed the Swiss Pines site. It became a nonprofit foundation in 1960.
