This past summer was a busy one for nursery staff members Mike Connelly, Joe Gorder and Dennis DeWitt with the expansion of the Arboretum nursery facility near the Rec Hall.
Interestingly, the notion of the Davis Arboretum as a truly beautiful place conflicts with the typical image of public gardens in the west. Most gardens are heavily irrigated, but the Arboretum is a dryland Mediterranean garden.
