Our Fall 2012 Appeal Letter

Phormium colensoi in the New Zealand entry garden at Pacific Connections.

This fall’s appeal letter in support of the Arboretum is written by Clint Staaf, a retired Seattle Parks and Recreation carpenter, and current volunteer in the Pacific Connections Garden Stewards program as well as for the 2013 Arboretum Display Garden.

Read about Clint’s connection to this special place and his appeal for a end-of-year donation to help care for the Arboretum, our shared legacy.

Read the letter in full. To donate to the Arboretum, visit our online giving page or call the Foundation at 206-325-4510.
