Arboretum Anew
Arboretum
Anew is a 20-year vision and framework to
comprehensively restore and expand Arboretum plant collections,
improve the visitor experience and ensure resources for future operation
and growth.
The next phase of Arboretum
Anew includes restoration of the Arboretum's south-end entry,
creation of five eco-geographic gardens, renovation of an historic
rockery, an interpretive shelter, additional parking and modernization
of irrigation systems. The four-year, $6 million Pacific
Connections Campaign to support the project is in its early
stages. The Arboretum Foundation is currently discussing leadership
giving opportunities with individual and institutional donors.
