The final numbers aren't in, but FOTA had a terrific plant sale this year. Good weather, beautiful plants and enthusiastic shoppers all help the bottom line. The profit supports Friends of the Arboretum activities at the Arboretum.

Hurry to the Arboretum to catch the final blooms in the demonstration Iris garden. Visitors from across the country have been coming by bus and car to view these new specimens. They have strolled our gardens, spent countless minutes getting the perfect photograph and admired nature while comparing notes with other enthusiastic gardeners from the comfort of a bench.
 
Work is progressing well on our new Cohen Iris garden. Benches and sidewalks are in place, the plant material has been delivered, and we just need the weather to cooperate so the project can be completed.
 
Spring is a glorious time at the Arboretum. Come, take a walk, explore the Arboretum, see the changes and watch us grow.
