An arboretum is a living “tree museum” – a collection of trees and other mostly woody plants that are cultivated for educational and scientific purposes. Famous arboreta include the Arnold Arboretum in Boston and the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, England. In Atlanta, Trees Atlanta has begun work on what will become the longest linear arboretum in the world: The Atlanta Beltline Arboretum. This ambitious and exciting project builds on Trees Atlanta’s success in working with seven neighborhoods and their Neighborhood Arboretum Committees– Inman Park, Sylvan Hills, Oakhurst, Cabbagetown, Midtown, Reynoldstown, and Virginia Highlands – to establish their own arboreta.
Through the “City in the Arboretum” conference, we hope to teach interested citizens how they can establish an arboretum in their own neighborhood. Presenters will include Steve Sanchez of HGOR, Inc.; UGA plant biologist Wendy Zomlefer; Shannon Kettering of ECOS Environmental Design; Atlanta History Center’s John Manion; Rob Brawner of BeltLine Partnership; Kevin Bourke of BeltLine, Inc.; Chris Hastings of Arbormedics; Scott Smith Vice President of Westview Community Organization; and interpretive specialist Faye Goolrick. Whether you wish to become an active participant in the Neighborhood Arboreta, or just want to learn more about common and unusual trees, this will be an educational and exciting day.
