Rhododendron Glen:  Restoring and expanding a historic landscape in the Washington Park Arboretum

Ray Larson, Curator and Associate Director of the UW Botanic Gardens, will talk about the years long process to restore and enhance Rhododendron Glen, a signature landscape in the Washington Park Arboretum.  Originally developed in the 1930s as one of the first plantings in the Arboretum, this project revitalized and expanded the original garden with new plantings and increased diversity along a restored stream.  Completed this spring, new beds showcase hundreds of new plantings in the rhododendron family (Ericaceae) along with ecological enhancements to this part of the Arboretum’s watershed.  Ray will discuss the years of planning and development that resulted in the polishing of this treasured landscape in the region’s largest public garden.

A recording of Ray Larson’s lecture will be sent to all members on November 9.
