Marc Wolf, Director of Horticulture & Environmental Stewardship, will lead a tour of the Arboretum’s timber frame Education Center, built from twenty-one different species of native trees from the Arboretum’s forest. We will then step outside to explore the Center’s landscape design by Jamie Purinton, which uses plants native to the Catskills to create wetland, woodland edge, and high-elevation bedrock outcrop habitats. Of special note will be the series of six interconnected rain gardens, an especially important element for the Arboretum’s site at the top of the Catskill Watershed. (The Catskill Watershed, combined with the Delaware Watershed, provides drinking water to 9,000,000 New Yorkers daily.) Among other features easily accessible to tour are the Bird Cove, planted with shrubs and perennials native to the northeast US, and the Spiral Labyrinth, a spiral garden designed by Bob Hyland and Dean Riddle.  

Digging Deeper is presented in partnership with The Garden Conservancy.
