Beautiful place for a wedding!

From out of state visiting relatives. We've driven past Luther IA where the sign is located that directs to the arboretum. But today we decided we had time to go. In such a remote area, you find a very advanced and well-organized garden spot that provides a lot of things to see. Enjoyed the children's garden, butterfly garden and all the unique trees that are well marked as to what they are. Very much worth a visit!

I have a cherry tree that I really want to save. The leaves at the top are being eaten by some bugs and making the leaves look see-through. What is an easy way I can deal with this on my own?

The bugs are probably japanese beetles. Are they metalic green on top with black and white stripes on their sides/belly? Picking them off by hand and putting them in a bucket with soapy water will kill them.

Why is the arboretum closed today (July 15, 2018)? We were going to visit today, but it was closed at about 11:30 AM.

Pat, The arboretum is open from dawn to dusk. The parking lot gate opens at 12 noon on Sundays. Visitors who come before that time can park in the parking lot across the street and enter the arboretum grounds through the pedestrian gate (sign posted on the gate). I apologize for the confusion and hope you will come back to visit. Sincerely, Mark
