From Director’s Notes:

General cleanup included edging around all gardens and trees; removal of the remaining “livestock” fence; repainting the interior of the Education Center and the installation of an air conditioner. In addition, we purchased lab tables, GPS devices, telescopes, digital cameras, computer and projector for the educational programs. Hired two full-time summer gardeners

Fence Completion

Construction was completed of the cedar fence East of the Rose Garden toward the South. It was, then dedicated to the Community Foundation, the funding source for this project

It seems as though no one is taking many photos of events anymore so all I have for this year are some of the gardens, but then that is not all bad when we can enjoy the wonders of nature at the Arboretum!

I always like to end each year on a high note and that will always mean our dedicated and wonderful group of volunteers

Renee Fischer: our volunteers are not usually this young but she looks like she might be pulling a weed or two.
