I became attached when I built the Smith-Mossman Western Azalea Garden. I planned it and coordinated its construction.
What’s your favorite Arboretum event?
The annual Spring Plant Sale. I enjoy meeting people and selling plants.
What do you think is the Arboretum’s biggest contribution to the community?
It’s a pretty place to walk and enjoy some peace and quiet. It also offers examples of what is possible gardening in the Puget Sound region. There are many other contributions related to the history of Maple Valley and connections with the greater gardening community in our area.
