HORTICULTURE

The Horticulture Committee, working in cooperation with Kendal's Grounds Division, seeks to enhance the natural beauty of the Kendal campus and to promote good stewardship of the environment by educating the community through publications and presentations; by planning and caring for plantings in the Care Center Courtyard, Center Island, the Buttonbush Bridge area, and other parts of the campus; by assisting residents in their cottage gardens and planting plans; by maintaining year-around displays of plants and cut-flower arrangements in interior public areas; by sponsoring an annual sale of plants and garden seedlings; and by overseeing a dedicated space for plant propagation and a community garden open to all.

Arboretum Subcommittee. (Larry Dunn)

The Arboretum Subcommittee of the KORA Horticulture Committee seeks to increase the value and enjoyment derived from our collection of woody plants by residents, visitors, staff, and the Oberlin community at large by stewarding our campus as an arboretum, with accredited status via ArbNet.org. To achieve this we pursue sound acquisition, maintenance, and record-keeping practices to ensure a healthy, diverse woody plant ecosystem that is appropriate to our USDA Hardiness Zone 6a reclaimed wetland microclimate, in collaboration and consultation with our Grounds Maintenance Department, which retains its responsibilities for planting and maintaining the woody plants on campus.
