Arboretum Shelter Gets Some Well-Deserved Attention

After many hours of carving, sanding and staining 12 cedar logs, volunteers from the Arboretum Shelter Carving Workshops can be sure they left a wonderful mark on this Seattle park. And their work got some great praise last week, too!

First, the Arboretum’s new interpretive shelter, designed by Pomegranate Center and The Portico Group, and the carved cedar columns that will support it were featured in an article in last week’s Seattle Times, Sprucing up a place for plants.” Describing the development of the Pacific Connections Garden, the article featured a large photo of the carving workshop site.

And then, the very next day, our volunteers’ handiwork made its first public appearance at the Arboretum’s Pacific Connections Garden groundbreaking ceremony! More »
