About the Auxiliary

The Auxiliary is a group of Arboretum enthusiasts who volunteer time and talent to support the work of the Arboretum. Volunteer and educational opportunities exist on many levels for our members. The Auxiliary presents fundraising events which include: Welcome Spring Sale (in March), Spring Plant Sale (in May), Summer Garden Tours (in July), Fall Harvest Sale and Quilt Raffle (in September), and Holiday Sale (in December).

To prepare for our fund-raising events we have specialty groups who combine their talents and help others learn new skills in the following areas: Quilting (Contemporary and Traditional groups), Floral Designers (aka Designing Divas), Fiber Arts (aka the Material Girls), Potpourri (aka the Spice Girls), and Pressed Flowers.

The Auxiliary holds quarterly meetings followed by luncheons with educational speakers. Workshops and informal get-togethers during the year provide educational, enrichment, and socializing opportunities for our members. We have a Board of Directors and produce a quarterly newsletter. The Auxiliary welcomes all members. We welcome new members, but remember that you must be an Arboretum member in order to join the Auxiliary.
