Grand Opening of Burgess Arboretum was Huge Success

We had a huge Grand opening of the Burgess Arboretum on October 3rd. It was a Beautiful
sunny day. We heard great talks from Paul Pugliese Cherokee county Extension agent and From Dr. Isherwood and Dr. Isherwood received a Proclamation From Cherokee County Board of Commissions Harry Johnston Declaring October 3rd Burgess Arboretum day in Cherokee County. It was a huge crowd of near 200 people and we were honored to have Dr. Burgess's children Martha Blanton Burgess and Jimmy Burgess help plant tree number 126 in our plant walk and we had a great plant walk thru the Arboretum. It was a huge success and thank you to everyone who helped make it such a great day.
