Pat DeCoursey, the arboretum manager, asks that visitors first sign in on the Waiver of Responsibility sheet, and then let her or her helper Gene Linder, who both work in the Arboretum every Wednesday, know that they are in the Arboretum. Upon leaving the Arboretum, please sign out.
This is an exciting new opportunity to access the Arboretum. Please do make use of it and enjoy a casual stroll through the forest. We hope that with respectful use that Pat will continue this offer. As usual, no dogs or bicycles are permitted. Posted by: Marcil on Nov 05, 2009 - 02:15 PM -

Read full article: 'Arboretum Open House and Autumn Harvest Festival' (110 more words) Spring was slow coming to Columbia, but finally in late March it danced into town with a magnificent display of dogwoods, cherries, clouds of azaleas, and a host of other flowers plus the welcome greenery of the unfurling leaves. Perhaps the even, plentiful rainfall of 2008 encouraged such a scenario. Many of the shrubs and trees of the Arboretum have matured enough during the past three years to bloom for the first time. Especially rewarding were the native azaleas in the CANDO Gardens and in the Native Azalea Garden above the Outdoor Classroom.

Apparently, multiple sewer pipes that run underneath and through the Arboretum are in a state of disrepair and collapse.

Read full article: 'City Working on Pipes Under the Arboretum' (65 more words) The year has been an unusual one, weather wise. January was very dry; February was very cold. The plants in general were greatly delayed in leafing out and blooming, giving quite a wintery appearance to the City. A transformation of the garden scene has occurred in the past week after the deluge of three and a half inches of rain for most of the Columbia area on the February 27-March 1 weekend, followed by 70 degree+ and 80+ daytime temperatures most of the following week. All this promises an exciting Open House on March 15 from 1-4pm.
