  • Summer 2013 Volume 42 Number 2
    SSummer 2013E ASONVolume 42S Number 2 A Note from the Executive Director PAUL W. MEYER, The F. Otto Haas Executive Director Stewarding our Historic Heritage hen the Morris Arboretum opened to the public in 1933, visitors found an elegant, impeccably maintained garden. At the time, L. H. Robbins, wrote in the New York Times Wthat the Morris Arboretum “was one of the most beautiful estates in America… that has long since been established as one of the great plant sanctuaries of the world.” However, in the following decades, the endowment slowly eroded, facilities maintenance was deferred, and by the 1970s, gardens were overgrown, fountains had gone dry and structures were falling into disrepair. Photo: Nick Kelsh Historic preservation was a central component of the Arboretum Master Plan, launched in 1978. Shortly thereafter, the Arboretum applied for and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Since then, year by year, we have been working to reverse the decay, to restore and adaptively reuse the historic gardens and structures, and to stay on top of routine maintenance. All of this is very expensive, and at times I feel we take two steps forward and one step back. The recession of recent years created new budgetary constraints, and dollars allocated to maintenance had to be cut back to balance the budget. As we celebrate the successful conclusion of the Always Growing campaign, I am pleased to report that the restoration of many structures, garden features, and fountains was directly funded with campaign contributions. Examples include the Love Temple at the Swan Pond, Long Fountain, Key Fountain, Springhouse and Springfield Mills.
