SUNDAY DEC 10 - Today's Festival of Trees event is on! Tickets can be purchased at the gate. We have made every effort to move as many of the activities indoors or under a tent. There are 22 beautiful trees decorated by local families, business, scouts and not for profits; please come support them and the Arboretum!

It’s been a busy winter and spring in the Woodland at Reeves-Reed Arboretum! The Horticulture Department -along with dedicated RRA volunteer groups- implemented major trail renovations, seeded 1/4 acre with native woodland ground-cover species, and planted over 25 native tree saplings.
A few years ago, a friend texted me a photo like the one below, asking me if they should pull out this plant—was it a weed?—as it was growing throughout their garden beds.
I usually define a weed as plant growing in a place where humans don’t want it.*
