At the Arboretum – 8/6/24

Can you tell from these photos what’s missing and what’s new? The old arbor on the way into the Haggerty Education Center (HEC) was in pretty bad shape, so it has been removed and will be replaced with a new one sometime soon. The walkway from the old arbor into the HEC had become hazardous and has been replaced with a brand new, attractive and safe one. A gorgeous, bold and bright tropical Rushfoil (Croton) can be seen on the right as you work your way to the HEC’s front door. Out by the first parking bay, the leaves of a Cotinus (Smoke Bush) glisten with raindrops from the storm that blew through on Sunday afternoon.
