NEWS FROM PETER C. ATKINS, CEO

SPRING At [HE ARBORETUM

I know nothing whatever of many aspects of gardening and very little of a great many more.
But I never saw a garden from which I did not learn something and seldom met a gardener

who did not, in one way or another, help me.

The Arboretum is
undergoing its yearly
renaissance. ..getting ready
for another wonderful year of
mother nature sharing with us
her seasonal beauty, whether
it be a riot of colorful flowers,
the glorious sounds of water,
wildlife or silence, as well as
the comfort and nurturing
from our old friend...the sun.

Spring at The Arboretum
begins with news that we
have received several
noteworthy grants. We have
received two grants for
support in operations, one
grant being a two-year grant.
We have also received a
grant specific to the historic
area that will help ensure the
ongoing integrity of our
structures making them more
accessible to visitors.

The Annual Appeal and
The Baldwin Bonanza
Patrons’ Letter are ongoing
and successful campaigns,
further encouraging us all to
continue our redevelopment
and positive changes for the
greater community. Visitors,
corporations and foundations
tell us that we have im-
proved our programs and

Russell Page, The Education of a Gardener

our plans for the future,
enhanced the grounds and
are more ae: inclusive.
This show of confidence is
very far reaching.

This year’s Baldwin
Bonanza will be a great
festival. Its success will

biggest fundraiser of the year
and it needs YOU to buy
plants, garden accessories
and join us for all the fun. On
Friday, May 3™ we will have a
glorious preview party with
food, drink and, of course,
guests will have the first
opportunity to buy plants and
items at the Silent Auction.
The conceptual long-
range plan is making
headway. We have com-
pleted Phase I, an inventory
of our existing facilities and
grounds, as well as establish-
ing the scope and programs
of the Plan. Phase II is
underway: analyzing,
critiquing and moving on to

preparing to hold public

meetings where all will have
an opportunity to contribute
input. Keep a look out for
meeting announcements. In
the meanwhile, please stop
by the office for a look at
Phase I and, if you would
like, make suggestions that
you might

I look forward to seeing
you at Baldwin Bonanza.

DEAR ARBORETUM FRIENDS,

On behalf of the foundation’s board of trustees, I thank all
of you — listed in the last newsletter and on the insert in this
newsletter — for the wonderful success of our year-end appeal.

ith your support we've already passed the $50,000 mark —
substantially ahead of last year, and donations are still coming in!

e conceptual long-range plan is progressing well. Nancy

Goslee Power & Associates has completed the first phase of
work. Their report, including a statement of Arboretum goals
and handsome graphics, is available through Peter Atkin’s
office if you want to see it. Please look for announcements of
our community workshops, whose input — with your help, we
hope — is sure to enrich the plan

I hope to see you in the gardens at this year’s Baldwin
Bonanza Preview Party on Friday, May 3rd and at the Plant Sale and
Garden Chat events over that weekend. We expect this to be the
greatest Bonanza yet!

A LIvING TRUST:
iS LT ror You?

The living trust has
been called the most
flexible estate-planning
device available and people
of all ages can benefit from
creating one. Creating a
living trust involves transfer-
ring assets you own into a
trust, which then holds title
to the assets.

rust is a written
legal document that allows
you, as the trustee(s),
unlimited access to and full
control of your assets
during your lifetime. It also
enables you to pass
property after your death
to family, friends serie!
loved ones —
appoint a successor ae
to ensure that your wishes
are carried out.

The distribution of
your assets through a living
trust allows you to avoid
probate and its resultant
costs and delays. You can
also revise your will so that
any estate residue goes to
the trust after your lifetime.

You may choose to
name one or more chari-
table causes, such as the

Los Angeles Arboretum
Foundation, as beneficia-
ries of your living trust —
and assets so designated
will escape estate tax. In
addition, you'll have the
satisfaction of making a
difference to the future of

allows you to arrange in
advance for someone to
manage your affairs in case
illness or injury prevents
you from managing things
on your own. A growing
number of older Americans
are placing assets into living
trusts to avoid the risk of a
court-appointed guardian

or conservator making
decisions for them in oe
future.

The Los Angeles
Arboretum Foundation
would be pleased to help
you explore the best ways
to blend your personal
and philanthropic —

BAMBOOS & PALMS
Timothy Phillips,
Superintendent
Palms and bamboos
have received very little
attention over the years.
In fact, the majority of
attention that they have
received is mostly
negative. When the
word “bamboo” is
mentioned, most people
seem to imagine horribly
invasive weeds. Not to
mention, when one
thinks of a “palm tree
visions of the often-drab
California Fan Palm
appear (the one that
self-seeded in your
garden 10 years ago and
is now a towering giant
that drops its fronds on
unsuspecting pets and
guests to your garden).
Join Timothy on a brief
but fascinating tour of
the world of palms and
bamboos, exploring The
Arboretum’s little known
palm and bamboo
collection. He will also
discuss their natural
history, ethnobotany,
and care and culture.
Along the way, he will
also expose a few
negative myths about
these unique plants.

Stephanie
Georgieff,
Herbalist

Back by
popular
demand is our
bardic host and

herbalist
Stephanie Georgieff, to
once again enlighten
you with tales of
Brother Cadfael in an
evening of medieval
mystery. Utilizing his
experience in the
Crusades, sharp wit
and deep love of
nature, Brother
Cadfael solved murder
mysteries by noting
the herbs found in
each case. Ride the
tram to investigate
suspicious locations,
pursue clues and set
the stage for the final
act on the terrace of
the Peacock Cafe.

INSIDE THE
ARBORETUM
Nelson Holmes, Senior
Tour Guide

Join naturalist Nelson
Holmes as he provides
an introduction to and
overview of The
Arboretum. Because
The Arboretum
segregates its collec-
tions geographically,
you will also travel
from one continent to
another as Nelson
leads you on a journey
through the gardens of
Australia, North and
South America, as well

bowl at Tallac Knoll;
understand that
Baldwin Lake is
actually a sag pond,
created by an earth-

quake fault; hear
about wonderful and

flowering trees (such
as the tabebuia, also
known as the golden
trumpet tree and the
pink trumpet tree)
that were actually
introduced by The
Arboretum over the
last fifty years. Don’t
miss this delightful
way to increase your
knowledge and
understanding of this
127 - acre botanical
garden.

AUGUST 22
ORCHID AND
TROPICAL
GREENHOUSE
TOUR

Julie Norman,

Orchid Curator

The tour begins with
a tram ride to the
Tropical Greenhouse
where you will hear
about the culture and
uses of rain forest
plants, and marvel at
the displays. Then, on
to the “behind the
scenes” orchid
growing area of over
13,000 square feet of
glass greenhouses
and 2,000 square feet
of covered outdoor
space. The orchid
collection, over
10,000 plants,
comprises over 200
genera and over
1,500 species. Julie
will talk about the
care and culture of

the group in half, and
one group will tour
the grounds while the
other goes through
the greenhouses, and
then switch!

ABOUT PALMS

"COP ALL THE GROUPS OF PLANTS.
NONE HAVE IMPRESSED ME MORE
THAN THE GROUP KNOWN AS PALMS.

Palms, all of which
belong to the family Palmae
or Arecaceae, are most widely
recognized by their flagship
species, the Coconut Palm or
Cocos nucifera (all
coconuts are palms
but not all palms are
coconuts). This
family contains close
to 3000 different
species which range
in size from the
diminutive, as with
Chamaedorea

majority of palms
are wet tropicals,

between the Tropic

Tropic of Capricorn and are
not suitable for our climate.
However, of those that will
grow here, only a handful
are actually being utilized by
the home gardener and or by
the landscape industry.

A small number of
palms can be called “true”
Mediterranean palms,
meaning they are native to

the Mediterranean regions of

the world.

In fact, only five species
of palms are native to the

snow, droughts and floods do
little to deter it from thriving.
The palm family is
second only to the grasses in
economic importance.
Especially in the
tropics, palms are
used for virtually
everything: rattan
furniture, coconut
fiber (the new miracle
product in
horticultural industry ,

waxy cuticle that is
produced on its
leaves) and my
favorite — heart of
palm (excellent in
salads and it can even be
deep fried).

plants by attending the July
11 Tour and Taste where I
will address “Grasses Made

Not Trees”

All the palms mentioned

above, with the exception of

the Carnauba Palm, can be

seen at The Arboretum of

MID-MAY TO LATE JUNE

EVERYTHING
Is COMING Ue... | RISES!

A visit to The Arboretum’s drip wall between mid-May and
late June is a must! That is when the Japanese Iris Garden is
expected to be at the height of color.

Developed by the world renowned Kamo Nurseries, in
Japan, and made available to The Arboretum from the Donald

M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens
at PepsiCo’s World Headquar-
ters, the collection
includes over 35
varieties of Jris ensata,
the largest of all Iris. Some
flowers reach 12 inches in
diameter with lovely forms,
colors and patterns.

In addition to the
“real life” display, from
April though the
end of June, a “still
life” iris poster will
be given free with any
new membership. What
a perfect time to present
the gift of a membership
to a close friend or family
member and give them a
most colorful introduction to
The Arboretum.

THE GARDEN CONSERVANCY PROGRAM

NASH GARDEN
To RAISE FUNDS for
THE ARBORETUM

The private garden of
Merrill and Donivee Nash in
Arcadia will be open to the
public on May 19, 2002, from

10 am-4 pm to help raise
funds for the Los Angeles
Arboretum Foundation and
the Garden Conservancy.

The Nash garden is a

constantly evolving entity
whose backbone is several
hundred roses — Austins,
hybrid teas, and old English.
A formal pool, tennis court,
and Dumbarton Oaks inspired
summerhouse provide a
framework for many perenni-

—

als, including climbing roses,
clematis, and many varieties
of trees. The garden is
designed with the opportunity
of year-round outdoor living
in mind, but is most beautiful
during the roses’ first bloom
in mid-spring.

Admission to the garden
is $5 for adults; children 12
and under are free. Call the
Garden Conservancy toll free
at 1-888-842-2442 to
order tickets or purchase
them at Baldwin Bonanza.
