News from the Arboretum

2 Aug

Last week, when I attended the most recent Music in the Park concert at the Webster Arboretum at Kent Park, I not only enjoyed the performance by Doctor’s Orders, but was also reminded of how peaceful and picturesque the park is. It is truly an under-appreciated jewel in our town’s park system.

When I was there, I picked up some information I wanted to pass along.

As part of their ongoing fundraising efforts, the Webster Arboretum is selling custom-inscribed bricks to be placed along the remembrance walkway leading from the Curry building to the gazebo. Each brick can accommodate up to three lines of text, 16 characters per line. The inscription might commemorate a special occasion, remember a loved one or beloved pet, be an inspirational message, or simply be your family’s name.

Each brick costs $75 and can be purchased online here. Even better, you can pick up a brochure at the next Music in the Park concert on Wed., August 16, which features Sarah De Valliere. The brochure includes a form which you can mail in with a check. Donations are all tax-deductible.

The Webster Arboretum at Kent Park is located at 1700 Schlegel Rd. Find out more about this beautiful park on the Arboretum’s website and Facebook page.

    More of an observation that on Wednesday’s there are 3 free concerts going on. UCC, Charlie Sexton Park and the Arboretum. How do you choose?

      Huh! I hadn’t thought of that! You’re right — that is a conundrum. 🙂
