Morton Arboretum Takes Green Step



We just received the most recent copy of the Morton Arboretum's publication, SEASONS. How refreshing to find a publication that has been downsized: smaller size, non-glossy on paper containing recycled fiber and sponsor logos you can't confuse with images or text from the MA. Here's the best news: starting with their summer issue: you can get your copy on-line.They say they asked for members' feedback and listened: seems so. And it fits with their mission.

No current picture from MA. Instead an image of an emerging native plant: Virginia Bluebell. I love it best at this stage when it still retains a purple tinge and resembles sow's ears. Next it turns lush green and grows big & cabbagy Then, it dangles enticing blue blooms before going dormant with the summer heat.
