Discounted Greens for Sale

Last Saturday's holiday sale was a smashing success: We sold more than $12,000 worth of greens and gifts in support of the Arboretum. Thanks to everyone who shopped at, or volunteered for, the event! We still have some lovely centerpieces and bundled greens available, which we're selling through the Arboretum Shop (open daily, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) at a 20- to 40-percent discount.

Blooming Hellebore and More in the Winter Garden

It's a fine time to visit the Witt Winter Garden at the Arboretum. 'HGC Josef Lemper', a cultivar of the Christmas Rose ( Helleborus niger), has just started blooming on the east side of the garden. Click below to read a short article about the plant. UW Botanic Gardens horticulturist Roy Farrow says that the fragrant  Daphne bholua specimens in the garden are also just about to flower.
