Visitors to Sarah P. Duke Gardens frequently comment on all the It’s late summer as I write this message, and the Duke campus is new features and how wonderful everything looks. We know this coming alive again, with students returning and classes starting because our ability to interact with visitors has grown dramatically up. I’m happy to report that the Gardens will be seeing more than along with the Gardens. Superlatives garnered last year include our usual level of student activity this year, thanks to recent efforts being listed as No. 4 among the “50 Most Stunning University to realize one of the five key objectives of our 2013–18 Strategic Gardens” in the world.

The Japanese garden project, now known as Pine Clouds Mountain Stream, is nearing completion, with the dramatic phase one already finished. We completed the recirculating waterfall and stream and built a lovely gazebo and a storage building to assist with the Japanese tea gatherings. To help give the garden an established look, we planted about 30 very large Japanese maples, generously donated by Linda Fox, an admirer of the arboretum who spent years collecting and growing Japanese maples with her late husband, Randy. Transplanted mosses will further enhance the appearance of a time-worn setting. Work will continue through fall, with an ornamental fence and additional hardscape features.

At Duke Divinity School we talk a lot about what makes for human flourishing, both for individuals and communities—that the work of ministry is the work of caring for souls and bodies and people in the hopes of promoting their growth. And we talk about it in a really theoretical way in the classroom, and not so much in a practical way.

But in coming here to the Gardens, I’ve seen that the work of caring for plants is a type of ministry as well. You’re looking to promote the growth of individual plants and also the whole garden. So you ask questions about flourishing, such as, “What’s the soil condi- tion that makes for proper growth? How can we care for these plants in a way that enables them to become the full, flourishing, beautiful plants they were intended to be?”

What I’ve found is that the kinds of questions I’m asking as a student translate into the garden, and the kinds of skills I’m developing as I garden translate back into the work of ministry. It’s been a gift to learn from professionals that care deeply about Duke Gardens, and to get to work alongside them, to apprentice myself to them in this other work of caring.

School Programs

Duke Gardens is pleased to be a museum partner with Y.E. Smith Elementary School through the East Durham Children’s Initiative (EDCI). As one of the five museum partners, Duke Gardens hosted 80 second-grade students from Y.E. Smith on six visits over the course of the year. This was an exciting opportunity to work through a full academic year with one group of students, allowing us to develop ideas and form connections with students and play a role in the cradle-to- college goal of the EDCI. 30 | gardens.duke.edu Gardens Outreach | 31
