Because the Arboretum is younger than many of the nation's arboreta, there is still
considerable room for growth and development of the gardens as well as its research
and education efforts. These are just some of the things that are planned for the
Arboretum's future.
The Arboretum has recently completed an update of its 1987 Master Plan for the
development of the remaining undeveloped spaces at the Arboretum. The Master
Plan also provides for an extension of the Paseo de Flores to encompass the entire
extended gardens and for the development of additional gardens.
The master plan calls for the development of a children's garden and horticulture center
at the north end of the property. These additions are already being planned. These
complexes will contribute to the education both of children and adults concerning
plants and their environment. | |
