Hoyt Arboretum Curator Martin Nicholson will lead the first session of a three part series on
Oregon native species. This class will be part indoor instruction and part field work.

What tree is that, and can I plant it in my yard? Look beyond the Douglas Fir and the Big Leaf
Maple to other Pacific Northwest native trees. Explore broadleaf and conifer tree identification
and growth habits. This class will be part lab and part field tour in the Arboretum. You will leave
this class with a new appreciation for the forest we live in.

We've just recieved 200 new species of shrubs and trees from our propogator friends at PlantMad Nursery Inc. While they're still too young to be planted, we'll take good care of them in the nursery through the winter. We're excited to welcome them to the arboretum this spring where they will be planted amongst the collections. Keep checking back as we will have updates on the types of plants you can look for.

Join us as part of our Arbor Week celebration, where we will welcome our new baby plants and enjoy the arboretum. Arbor Week 2012 is April 2nd through 8th. Mark your calenders, and don't forget to check back, more details to come!
