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

The pian is exciting in its scope and imagination,
functional and incremental in its implementation,
and feasible in its application. This means

we Can use it as a guide to stepwise, steady
improvement.

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.

@ process subject to changes in the economy,

to the will of the pervasive social and political

structures, and to the gradual visualization that a
life without parks and gardens and open spaces
diminishes us all.

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

1948

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

The Weavers’ Garden

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.
