Quarterly Newsletter of
Friends of Jensen - Olson Arboretum
Spring Issue March 2020
Quarterly News and Updates
We revised our intent for this issue...
Rather than newsy bits, we are simply offering Arboretum images and selected quotes to provide sacred garden space during challenging times...

Look for a bonus issue in April which will include all the news
updates as well as several articles...

Til then, be well, and enjoy the space...
Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.
-Henry David Thoreau
Look deep into nature, and you will understand everything better.
–Albert Einstein
Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help.
Gardening is an instrument of grace.
–May Sarton
         Mission Statement              
  The vision of the Arboretum is to provide the people of Juneau a place that both teaches and inspires learning in horticulture, natural sciences and landscaping - to preserve the beauty of the landscape for pure aesthetic enjoyment - to maintain the historical and cultural context of the place and its people.
