Did you know that the legacy of Morris Arboretum & Gardens’ plant distribution tradition started nearly 100 years ago in the will of Lydia Morris? In addition to distributing plants to other public gardens, the Morris has maintained Lydia’s wish of sharing plants with members, continuing again this May with you!
