long-range planning for The Arboretum of
the future. As with the gardens themselves, and all the plants in them, nothing at The Arboretum is static. We must constantly restore, maintain, and improve what we have; we must also frequently inquire as to what can be better. We need to dream. The Long-Range Planning Committee of the Foundation board has been working to do just that.
Over the past few years, hundreds of hours have been spent fulfilling the responsibility of long-range planning. With Nancy Goslee Power and Associates, we are now completing the plan, Which addresses most of the changes that we

It is not possible to develop all of our ideas. We don't have the money. However, we hope as we make changes using this wonderful guide that people will see what we see. We hope they will want to help us grow and that they will help pay for the steps we need to take.

The Arboretum Foundation board is composed
of people who see the value of working through these steps, hard as some may be, to keep The Arboretum beautiful, relevant, and a great asset to our community.

DEAR ARBORETUM MEMBERS Preparing for the Future Mark K. Wourms, Ph.D., CEO
hen | was invited to become the Chief \\V Executive Officer of The Arboretum just over a year ago, my first thoughts were, “This will be a wonderful place to work,” and “What a pleasure it will be to get to know the interesting, diverse group of people already involved with The Arboretum.” Both of these early observations have proven to be true. Each and every garden and program has been examined over the past year. Changes have occurred, with more to come, and each action has been implemented with a number of goals in mind: 1) freshen-up and beautify the gardens, grounds and facilities; 2) improve educational opportunities; 3) make The Arboretum more family friendly; 4) add fun to the visitor experience so our guests are more likely to return, become more involved, and absorb more useful information; 5) ensure that the facilities, gardens, and historical landmarks receive more care—both short- and long-term; and 6) build the visibility of our gardens, programs and partnerships. These goals are critical as we build a bright future for The Arboretum. Everything we do today is a step to prepare us for the future. Several milestones are nearing fruition and will push us forward. The Conceptual Plan, which was started a few years ago, is being completed. It will help bring clarity to our visions for The Arboretum, what our visitor experience
will be, and it will give us opportunities to choose various paths to get there. A presentation will be
put together for review by all members. This process
and the publication of a final document and plan will
provide guidance for years to come. The mission of The Arboretum is also in review.
We are working to consolidate our complex organization and its related activities around one stated goal. This will also _ add direction for the future. _ Each of the improvements made over the last year was a first | step. Each will lead to another F step and then to larger steps. An F example: the review of visitor F surveys indicated a need to improve © signage and interpretation throughout re our lovely grounds—greater quantities
and clearer directional, location and interpretive signage. Therefore, location signs are in construction for major gardens, including “Herbs of the World,” “The Garden for All Seasons,” “The Grace Kallam Perennial As a member, you are the most important component of the future of The Arboretum.
Garden,” and many more.
Additionally, over the last year thousands of plants throughout the garden have been identified with labels. A new style of interpretive sign is being tested at the Roots and Shoots — Children’s Discovery Node. This style and other informative signs will be
1951
implemented in other gardens. Other examples of step-wise improvements are the painting of the Gift
& Garden Shop and Queen Anne Cottage, adding
a drinking fountain, and the new concrete paths in
the greenhouses. More will come in each of these important areas.
As a member, you are the most important component of the future of The Arboretum. | invite you to become more involved by: visiting regularly; dropping notes and comment cards on what you see, what you like and, of course, what you do not like or do not understand. Also, as a member, your recruitment of others is critical. Invite friends and family to visit our special events, shop at the Gift & Garden Shop, have lunch, and become members. You are our best marketing tool! Your efforts will generate funds that will reinforce positive changes and allow even more beautification and care for The Arboretum in the future. Together, we can work today for a bright, bright tomorrow.
See you in the garden

PLANTS & PEOPLE The Weavers’ Garden Jim Baum, Ph.D., Senior Biologist
diverse attractions. The Weavers’ Garden, installed close to The Arboretum entrance in early May in time for the Baldwin Bonanza 2005 Garden Show and Plant Sale. contains a group of plants that have stems, leaves, bark and other parts that have served humankind in both practical and artistic endeavors.
At the heart of these human uses are the plants’ “internal skeletons.” Lacking real bones, plants must rely on specialized long vertical cells called fibers linked together and impregnated with hardening compounds like cellulose and lignin to hold plants steady as they reach for the energizing rays of the sun. People learned long ago that they could harvest these tough strands to lash, bind, and tie to create structures, clothing, and vessels. Today, plant fibers serve the same traditional roles but also as the basis for creative and even whimsical masterpieces. ;
One of the most sturdy of the natural stems is bamboo, and a tunnel of bent bamboo canes serves as your entrance into this botanical wonderland. Another prominent bamboo feature is a freeform lattice/trellis of large-diameter bamboo canes on which are growing healthy tendril-bearing California native grape vines, most useful to the native peoples of the Golden State for food and cordage.
Pp woven, and knotted into a creative package comes to you a new and intriguing addition to The Arboretum’s already
used in making twine. Their cousins, the yuccas, are also represented. Their generally shorter leaves also have very tough fibers that can be used for newsprint. The thin gray leaves of the sotol or Dasylirion rosettes are woven into mats and seats for stools in Mexico.
And from the same plants that brought you aspirin, the willows, serve as a backbone for the garden. Willow branches are legendary in basketry. Here in the Weavers: Garden, they also serve as green partitions and even as the seat and back of what will in time be a living bench! The graceful and thin-stemmed flax plants are here too. Their processed stems yield the fine fibers used for linen. So )
Along the trail are unusual decorations assembled from the dried leaves of the Canary Island Dragon Tree, a plant of lore, due to the blood-like resin on the leaf bases. The living plant is there too, tucked away in the back of the exhibit. Ue SS
Come see these and many more interesting and useful plants in this new addition to The Arboretum’s many exhibits.
