Join Newport Tree Conservancy for a detailed look into the delicate art of coastal gardening as we bring our season of Arboreta tours to a close. Salt Marsh Arboretum is a species diverse landscape bordering on the restored salt marshes of Gooseneck Cove. Estate gardener Devin Skelly will join us for an engaging look at the intensive restoration efforts made, involving the reestablishment of native species. Devin will show us around the arboretum, describe the horticultural and restorative work he has done, and showcase the plant collection. Highlights of the arboretum include a paperbark maple grove, young giant sequoia trees, a collection of buckeyes (Aesculus), and the rare wheel tree (Trochodendron aralioides).
