FINANCIALS Tyler is a place where generational and economic boundaries do not exist, a place where members and visitors can create connections to nature as well as each other, and a place where we can celebrate the beauty and wonder of the natural world. STAFF & BOARD BOARD PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Dear Friends, Another very productive year has passed at Tyler Arboretum and we are pleased to share our successes with you. 2014 was a special year for Tyler as we celebrated our 70th anniversary, and our dedicated staff and volunteers worked very hard to make this the best year yet. We had another successful year of strengthening the five areas of engagement at Tyler: connections, celebrations, collaborations and partnerships, stewardship, and giving.

I would like share some of our recent accomplishments in the past year with our stakeholders. In 2014, Tyler’s summer camps completely sold out! Over 475 children participated in the assorted camps to better learn about our natural world. These children will be the next generation of nature-lovers at Tyler and we are excited to have them here. We are moving forward nicely toward the start of our Pink Hill restoration project. With funding of $330,000 raised in 2014, we are now able to proceed with the land clearing, grading and deer fence construction to enable us to preserve this incredible natural resource at Tyler. We finished construction on yet another tree house called the Tulip Tree House. The whimsical “leaflike” shape of this tree house attracts the fancy of all our visitors. It is located along the Scenic Loop path as you approach the meadow. Take a look when you next visit the Arboretum.

You, our loyal donors, increased your Annul Fund giving in 2014 by 12.5 percent for a total of over $162,000. We thank you so much for your support and generosity. Tyler could not operate without this support from our community. Now we can move forward with big projects planned for 2015, such as the Historic Painter Plants Exhibit. This display will recreate the planting techniques used by the Painter brothers for their botanical studies over 150 years ago. Finally, we launched our very own Tyler Arboretum mobile app for Apple products. This incredible app gives visitors mobile access to our hiking trails, calendars, special features and much more. You can even donate to Tyler from the app!

All of this and much more made Tyler a premier destination and community resource in 2014. As we move into 2015, we remain committed to continuing our standard of excellence among public gardens in Pennsylvania and the mid-Atlantic region. We thank our dedicated members, donors, volunteers and visitors for their continued support. These successes are not possible without our generous supporters.

We look forward to seeing you at Tyler Arboretum soon—here’s to another 70 years and more!

Shipley Allinson Board President

3 ConnectionsTyler thrives on its connections not only to the natural area which it stewards, but also among the many connections to the many people who support it. INTERGENERATIONAL NATURE DISCOVERIES Tyler is a place where age barriers do not exist. In 2014, several enhancements and improvements brought families and individuals of all ages to Tyler. The Totally Terrific Tree Houses exhibit was expanded with the completion of the Tulip Tree House. Interpretive signage was added to the Painter Plants collection, and plans were started for a paved path through the area known as the “Old Arb.”

“While visiting relatives we had the pleasure of visiting the arboretum. A true delight with dedicated knowledgeable staff.”

“Originally was going to Ridley Creek State Park but saw this was next door and had unique things that we decided to go here instead. We have a 4-year-old and twin 2-year-olds. This was a great place for them. Got to climb on tree houses and wander around. Was sort of like an outdoor jungle gym. We didn't even get to see everything after two hours since the kids were getting tired. Will be back to see more.”

“Of course we traveled to Tyler to see the tree houses. But we found so much more. This is an easy walking park, with both paved, wooded and grassy trails. Your day could be as strenuous or easy as you wanted. The kids had such a great time exploring the tree houses and we found many hidden fairies. This was an easy drive from the Baltimore area for a day trip. We packed a picnic lunch which was great.”

“This is my favorite arboretum in the Philadelphia area. Yes, the trees are beautiful, and the walks are great. But the tree houses (interesting to young and old) are so much fun, they make the park unique, so glad they kept them up after the initial exhibition.”

5 MARKETING EFFORTS 20 school districts in Delaware, Chester, Philadelphia and Montgomery counties as well as schools in New Jersey, Tyler restructured its online calendar of programs and events Delaware and Maryland.

The app features real-time GPS guidance for the hiking trails, descriptions of all of the garden features, tree houses and historic buildings, an interactive map of the entire Arboretum, ways to donate, become a member or follow Tyler, and a calendar of events that pulls directly from the website.

Monthly email distributions of Tyler Tidbits continued.

We saw positive results in just as many participants! increased web traffic and attendance at events and programs.

Cultivating these future environmental stewards helps ensure Tyler’s longevity. 2014 was a successful year for educational efforts, when Tyler served

6 $ Scout Programs Tyler provides the ideal location and facilities for Boy Scout and Girl Scout activities and functions. Tyler hosted 34 Scout programs with 376 Scouts in attendance.

ADULT PROGRAMS While Tyler is a phenomenal place to connect children with nature, it also serves as a perfect place to re-connect adults with the natural world. 2014 was an extremely successful year for bringing adults back to the Arboretum, due in part to the popularity of the diverse programs offered throughout the year. From guided tours of historic buildings to volunteer- led hikes, gardening classes to nature photography workshops, Tyler is a community leader in connecting people to each other and the activities that bring them together. In 2014, Tyler offered 230 programs with 1,802 participants (an increase from 2013, with 170 programs with 1,742 participants). Those programs included: B Adult (fee-based) – 105 programs with 787 participants (up from 2013: 54 programs with 515 participants) B Adult (free with admission) – 125 programs with 1,015 participants

Tyler was also a co-sponsor with five other public gardens of the annual Woody Plant Conference which had over 560 participants drawing from the mid-Atlantic region to hear national and international speakers focusing on trees and shrubs.

MEMBERS ONLY EVENTS AND PROGRAMS Tyler depends on its members and strives to reward members as often as possible with members-only incentives, including members-only events and programs that bring these like-minded individuals and families together. The spring Eggstravaganza brought 245 members to the Arboretum for an Easter Egg Hunt (over 100 more people than the year before!) and Tyler’s annual Ice Cream Social in July was once again a member favorite, with 126 members in attendance. Members were also treated to a special dedication of the new Tulip Tree House and 119 participants enjoyed the Family Owl Prowls and Tyler After Dark Adventures.

Every year, the staff holds an event to offer gratitude and recognition to these volunteers who are so generous with their time and talents by hosting the Volunteer Reception. The 2014 Volunteer Reception celebrated 76 attendees with food and drinks followed by the President's Volunteer Service Awards and words of thanks from staff (see p. 16 for more details).

CELEBRATING 70 YEARS OF TYLER ARBORETUM Tyler celebrated its 70th anniversary of being a public arboretum in 2014. To mark the occasion, we held several contests to garner visitor participation. We offered a photography contest for adults, using the theme “Celebrating 70 Years of Tyler.” Entries were narrowed down to a top 20 by staff, and then the public voted for their favorites via Facebook. The top five entries were framed and put on permanent display at Tyler.

We asked our young visitors to show their love for the Arboretum by making a birthday card for Tyler. Several impressive and creative cards were submitted and each winner from each age category won a $10 Tyler gift certificate and a blue ribbon.

All winners were announced at the Butterfly Festival and we had some fantastic visitor support in helping us celebrate 70 years!

Some accomplishments by volunteers included:

Butterfly House The Butterfly House got some TLC in 2014 in preparation for new improvements provided by a donation from Axalta Coating Systems. Butterfly House volunteers did an outstanding job sprucing up the House and garden.

Handy Person Several individuals donated their handy work skills in two big projects. The porch at historic Lachford Hall was completely renovated and the benches in the Arboretum were repaired.

Plant Records Plant Records had volunteers inventory: $ Native Woodland Walk $ Areas of the Pinetum (outside Scenic Loop) $ Magnolia Collection $ Pond Area $ Lachford Area $ Barn Area

They also helped assemble and place display labels for the new Heuchera and Hosta plantings in the Rhododendron Garden, along with replacing broken display labels and missing accession tags.

Plant Records volunteers also mapped: $ North Woods $ Benches $ New plantings that were installed along the Scenic Loop and Rhododendron Garden rooms

Bluebird Boxes Our fledge count for bluebirds was only 52 in 2014. Suzanne Clauser, lead, attributes this to the colder than usual winter in 2014. Of the 40 bird boxes, 2 were replaced.

16 StewardshipOne of the pillars of Tyler’s mission statement is the principle of engendering stewardship among its members and its community. ACCESSIONS Tyler had 72 new accessions in 2014, consisting of 370 plants. 32 of those plants were donated to us, including 28 native trees from Scott Wade, two historic roses from Wyck House and two trees donated by Mt. Cuba Center.

201 plants were purchased through funding from the Stanley Smith Horticultural Trust. These plants were planted primarily in masses around the Scenic Loop and in the Rhododendron Collection.

CURATORIAL WORK Tyler’s historic legacy took center stage in 2014 as we celebrated 70 years as a public arboretum. The original 1681 deed from William Penn was digitally scanned and reproduced. The reproduction appeared in a special one-day exhibition at the Longwood Graduate Symposium, and was displayed in the Lachford museum after its return. A successful history blog called Tyler Tales was started, with contributors from different areas of the Arboretum.

Also in 2014, Tyler took part in a special program by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, called the Hidden Collections Initiative for Pennsylvania Small Archival Repositories. The goal of the project was to make the collections of small archival repositories in the Philadelphia region better known. Two archivists came to the Arboretum, surveyed the archival collections, and created finding aids along two primary lines of provenance – the organizational materials of Tyler Arboretum and the remaining archival materials from the Minshall-Painter family. The archivists surveyed all materials, created finding aids and made recommendations related to the condition and care of the archival collections. The finding aid for Tyler can be found now at the Philadelphia Area Consortium of Special Collections Libraries (PACSCL) finding aid site and in the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s History Affiliates Organization Directory.
