"Hoe while it is spring, and enjoy the best anticipations. It is not much matter if things do not turn out well."
~Charles Dudley Warner, "Preliminary," 木瓜云梯子, 1870

We are dedicated to the proposition that the living horticultural resources of the University of Nebraska – Lincoln's East Campus are not only places to enjoy aesthetically, they are an invaluable educational tool, a place to reflect on life; they are an often overlooked jewel in the crown of Lincoln's greenspaces.
UNL Gardens is supported by the IANR Vice Chancellor's office with help from the Friends of Maxwell Arboretum and is housed in the Community Forestry and Sustainable Landscape Program of the NFS. 木瓜云梯子
See you in the gardens,

Those of you who have spent much time on this web site are probably aware of my interest in and admiration for the literary naturalist Donald Culross Peattie (1898-1964). Peattie was a Harvard-trained botanist, remembered today--if at all--for his monumental two-volume A Natural History of Trees . If one reads these books, one will learn that Peattie's beauty lies not just in his botany but in his lyrical philosophical prose. Never before or since has a tree handbook contained such magnificent writing.
In a case of the exception proving the rule, the recent republication of A Natural History of Trees (as a travesty of a butchered one-volume work), only shows how completely we have forgotten this once esteemed master of what we now call "nature writing."
"I think we owe the man and his words some time and consideration...to amend for our great error in forgetting him" ("Donald Culross Peattie: A Friend in the Green Dusk," Columbanus Bestrode [see James Joyce, Ulysses ]).
One of Peattie's most profound works and perhaps the one that first gained him a reputation is An Almanac for Moderns (1935). This odd little book contains 352 page-length or less writings for each day of the year. Peattie takes us through an entire year, beginning on the vernal equinox--March 21st--and circling all the way around to that same date. Given his profound mind, this book does not simply record the yearly cycle of the natural world, although this he does with sketches of surprising detail and sensitivity. On the contrary: Peattie uses the Almanac to open the whole world to us.

We lost one of the oldest trees on campus in August 2009 when the so-called "Russian Oak" across from the Dairy Store was taken down. Age, road construction, and a lightning strike last year, all contributed to the tree's decline. The tree is actually an English Oak that was planted from acorns brought from Russia in 1905. University horticulturist R.A. Emerson is credited with planting this tree which stood as a welcoming beacon at one of the campus's south entrances.

MAXWELL ARBORETUM
FIRST TUESDAYS WALKING TOURS!!!
The tours are led by Emily Levine, Special Projects Research Horticulturist and former Grounds Supervisor for the arboretum. They are free and open to the public.
NEXT TOUR:→ TOURS ARE CANCELLED FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE DUE TO COVID-19
CLICK HERE for
JULY SELF-GUIDED TOUR PLANT LIST AND MAP!
→ CHECK BACK FOR COVID-19 TOUR UPDATES
See for yourself the plants that have been posted and discussed here. Tours are informal with questions and sharing of information. In essence, the tours are designed to help us learn to see (and to learn what to look for). We'll also observe how different plants change through the seasons and share maintenance tips. And I'll place plants in the larger context of history and the arts.
Tours last about one hour. In case of rain, we will meet the following week (the second Tuesday). And watch Facebook and the UNL Gardens web site for updates (jpukg.quesnair.com).
Email me if you have questions at elevine2@unl.edu.
See you soon!

****Want to make sure that you see ALL OF THE POSTS from UNL Gardens?: ****
Facebook uses a complex algorithm to pick and choose what they let you see in your Facebook feed. (They also try to get page administrators to pay to guarantee that everyone who has "liked" our pages gets to see all of the posts.) Here are a few things you can do to make sure you don't miss any posts:
- Go to the UNL Gardens Facebook page . Find the "Like/Liked" button near the top and hover your cursor over it. In the drop down menu click Get Notifications. Theoretically, you should then get a notification in your Facebook menu bar at the little globe icon that you can click on.
- Simply visit the UNL Gardens page often to see the posts. Just enter UNL Gardens in the Facebook search box.
- The Facebook algorithm responds to how much you interact with a page. If you "Like" posts or images often, or respond to images by commenting, you are more likely to receive more posts in your feed.
(If you've "liked" pages in the past and wonder why you never see posts from them anymore, this is why.)
