Starting an arboretum is a meaningful and rewarding endeavor that requires planning and a passion for trees and shrubs. It's surprisingly easy to create one with as few as 25 species, including the trees and shrubs that are already on site. Jeff Weiss, Wild Ones Lake-to-Prairie Chapter board member, will tell the story of the Reiner Park Native Tree and Shrub Arboretum in photos and offer advice on how to start an arboretum in your community.
