Director ’sMESSAGE

Mary H. Meyer Interim Director

The University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Horticultural Research Center celebrated 50 years as a premier public garden, and 100 years of cold-hardy fruit and plant research and discovery, respectively, in 2008. This year was notable for these historic anniversaries and a number of other remarkable milestones.

Indeed, in a year with a summer exhibition aptly named Treeology, Arboretum-related anniversaries really seemed to “grow on trees.” The Arboretum honored the 24-year tenure of Arboretum Director Peter Olin, who retired in June; marked the 40th anniversary of the Arboretum Auxiliary, our dedicated volunteers; and as our Andersen Horticultural Library noted recently, 2008 was also the 100th birthday of founding Arboretum director Dr. Leon Snyder, (1908-1987) who changed the way Minnesotans think of gardening in a northern climate. This year also marked the 300th anniversary of Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778)-the Swedish botanist-who established the binomial system for naming plants, so commemorated in an exhibit by our library.

During this anniversary year, we invited the community to come “party in the garden.” The first celebration-a Heritage Event in June-was actually a look back with founding families, friends and supporters of the Arboretum to remember our founders and their vision to establish a landscape arboretum for future generations to enjoy.

A Hardy Plant Symposia highlighted a century of discovery and work that

enabled us to become international leaders in cold-hardy fruit and plant research. The Great Hall of Honor in the Oswald Visitor Center features a year-long poster exhibit of more than 90 ornamentals, plant and fruit introductions spanning 100 years including Northern Lights Azaleas, Firefall red maple, and Haralson and Honeycrisp apples.

The Toast and Taste in the Garden anniversary celebration attracted 800 to sample regional cuisine prepared with fresh, locally grown ingredients by some of the best restaurants in town, paired with Minnesota wines and brews. The Anniversary Gala in the Garden was a special tribute to Director Peter Olin, whose vision and leadership over nearly a quarter of a century, has transformed the Arboretum with major expansions including numerous display gardens, the beautiful new Oswald Visitor Center, and now a special directorship endowment named for him.

When we opened our gates for a free Family Day and 50/100th birthday party, more than 5,000 people came for cake, the natural beauty and the Treeology experience to celebrate our connection to the wonder and power of trees.

Thank you to generous trustees, donors, friends, volunteers, staff, sponsors, and the community for a magnificent anniversary year. Let us renew our commitment to the Arboretum’s mission of research, education, displays and plant conservation for the next 100 years!

ANNUAL REPORT FY2008 2

The Arboretum’s roots reach back 100 years to 1908, when its Horticultural Research Center (HRC, formerly University of Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm) began developing apple varieties that could survive Minnesota winters. Since its first introduction, the Haralson apple, the HRC has gone on to introduce more than 90 cold-hardy plants, including the Northwood red maple, Northern Sun forsythia, Northern Lights azaleas, as well as apples, blueberries, plums, apricots, pears, grapes, raspberries and strawberries.

In 1958, the Men’s Garden Club of Minneapolis, the University’s Department of Horticultural Science headed by Dr. Leon Snyder, the Minnesota State Horticultural Society and the Lake Minnetonka Garden Club founded the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum on 160 acres of remote marshland adjacent to the HRC. Despite the fact that the Berens cabin was the only structure on the grounds, the Arboretum hosted 5,000 visitors during its first year.

Fondly known as “the Ranch,” the family cabin on the grounds of the Arboretum was built in the 1950s by Dr. Charles Berens and his family.

“So many memories,” recalled Lola Berens Maynard, a daughter and the sole surviving member of the family, on a visit this past summer to the now- restored cabin. Lola married in 1959, and with her late husband Jim, had two children. After Jim’s death in 1964, she and the children returned to live on the Arboretum grounds. Lola, along with twin sister Mary, continued to live on the grounds until Mary’s death in 2007.

Lola, Mary and brother Jim would come out on weekends to help build the cabin—she even had her own hammer and saw. Lola remembers Dad tending the trees, family hikes, tobogganing down the hill, ice skating on the lake and maple syruping in the spring.

During the 50/100th anniversary, Lola remarked how wonderful it was to share the beauty of the Arboretum with the community, adding, “my roots will always be here.”

Through June 30, 2008, the Arboretum proudly set records for visitor and member goals. Annual visitorship surpassed 300,983; and membership topped 20,190 households for the first time ever. Visitor and member information greatly improved through streamlined visitor guides and exhibition maps, easy-to-navigate website with online registration, expanded e-newsletter, more reader-friendly newsletter, enhanced on-site kiosks and touch-screen computers.Thanks to generous friends of the Arboretum, the Peter J. Olin Directorship was established as an endowment for future Directors of the Arboretum.

A number of physical improvements were completed including waterproofing and restoration of the Snyder Building Tearoom Terrace. Visitors enjoyed spectacular spring blooms of 50,000 tulips, daffodils and more. Cool weather with no severe storms allowed for several weeks of beautiful gardens. The first year of an internship program for horticulture

undergraduate students provided learning experiences on sustainable operations for public gardens and jobs on the Arboretum grounds.

Educational programs in public policy, children’s and adult classes continued to advance our mission by connecting people with the importance of plants in their lives. Free family weekend programs provides plant-based activities engaging children and adults, and school programs including on-site field trips and plant mobile classroom visits served over 55,000 children in FY 2008. Adult classes feature cooking with fresh, locally grown ingredients and popular chefs around town; nature photography, horticultural techniques, botanical arts and certified gardening school. A series of symposiums, including Climate Change Adaptation & Biodiversity Conservation: A Minnesota Response; Hardy Plant Research Symposia; Nature, Children and Families: A Necessary Connection; and Adapting Community Infrastructure to Climate

Under Peter Olin’s 24-year leadership as Director, the Arboretum has flourished.

His legacy will have an impact on generations to come. To celebrate Peter’s vision and service, University of Minnesota President Robert Bruininks announced on June 18 an endowment in Peter’s honor known as the “Peter J. Olin Directorship of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.” Before a gathering of more than 400 guests at the Arboretum’s Anniversary Gala in the Garden, President Bruininks revealed that 22 benefactors have earmarked nearly $1.7 million

toward the goal of a $2 million endowment.

“The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum is a calming oasis in today’s hectic world,” added Arboretum benefactor Whitney MacMillan, “While I’m proud of the role my family and many Minnesotans played to help establish the Arboretum, Peter Olin’s leadership has enabled the Arboretum to flourish. I’m even more proud to help create this endowment as a fitting way to pay tribute to a great leader and to ensure an unwavering commitment to the Arboretum’s future.”

Profile: Richard Brachmann Over the years, Richard Brachmann has spent considerable time – photographing wildflowers, taking early-morning walks, cross-country skiing -- all the while watching the Arboretum bloom and grow. “It’s turned into one of Minnesota’s greatest treasures,” he says. “And it’s getting better all the time.” Richard deserves some of the credit for where the Arboretum is today. An enthusiastic supporter, he has supported the summer exhibitions for the past four years, and has designated a planned gift to help the Arboretum continue to thrive in the future. He also continues to spread the word, encouraging people to visit the Arboretum for the first time. “If they visit once, they’ll come back again,” he says.

Bailey Nurseries, a longtime corporate partner of the Arboretum, generously supported the 50/100th anniversary year. As one of the nation’s largest wholesale nurseries, Bailey’s became a primary sponsor of the Treeology summer exhibition, as well as an in-kind donor for the “Value of Trees” statewide public education and community outreach campaign. Bailey’s history of support dates back to the start of the Arboretum so their sponsorship of the 50/100th anniversary events was especially meaningful--another celebration of their giving for the last century!
