Our arboretum advanced to level II last month after meeting the following enhanced levels of
arboretum
standards:
Increasing our arboretum collection with ioo more trees and woody shrubs. Our tree
stewards have already identified these additions with plant labels generously donated by
BrightView
Landscape
Services,
Inc.
Creating an Arboretum collections policy that describes the professional management of
the plants in the arboretum collection, in accordance with standards developed in the
public garden and museum fields.
Assigning the arborists job responsibilities that specifically include management of the
arboretum.
Enhancing educational and public programming beyond the base level required in Level I
accreditation. This fall we will offer a new tree tour that focuses on the Arboretum
collection
and tree care.

About 13, 000 summer annual flowers were grown for use in the
gardens throughout the Historic Area.
About 1/ 3 of the flowers were
grown in house at our production nursery along with over 600 herb
and 2500 vegetable
plants.
Of the 24 iconic gardens in the Historic Area, eight contain kitchen
gardens and 12 have herb plots. All are ably maintained by CW
Horticulturists along with help from our volunteers, many of whom
are Master Gardeners or members of The Herb Society of America.
