The arboretum has provided countless small moments of joy, from posing my infant son (now 28) on a tree branch for a picture, to teaching him to bike on the paths, to the plants we grow at home that the arboretum provided, to the deep joy I get from looking at the plants and trees singly and as a landscape. I grew up near Central Park and love that my connection to Olmsted’s efforts continue throughout my life. My wife and I love our time together in the arboretum.
