This is a great opportunity to see the garden at its' very beginning, and to begin to see how the trails and gardens are being laid out. Amaze your friends as they drive by on University Drive. The big red and white tent will still be up, and there will be chairs for resting. We are open to other offers of music or assistance. Call Barb at 468-1832 if you want to volunteer for specific duties.
Photographers are especially welcome.
Mr. Daiji Goto, President of Nissho Gakuen Educational Corporation, with offices in Miyazaki and Kagoshima, Japan, will plant the first Japanese maple in the garden. This large specimen tree is being donated by Towakani Nursery. Mr. Goto's corporation promotes Japanese-American peace and understanding through development of sister city and sister university cooperation. A reception will follow in the new Arboretum Children's Pavilion. This is a much-needed shot in the arm for continuing development.
