WATERLOO â The community is being invited to sow seeds for the future at the Cedar Valley Arboretum and Botanic Gardens. As the garden nears its 25th year in 2021, a comprehensive master plan is being developed to grow into the next 25 years with ideas and suggestions cultivated through public input.

âWhen youâre planting an oak tree, you have to look 25 years into the future to know where to plant them. It takes a long time for a garden to mature, and having a master plan will help us pull together a cohesive theme and experience for visitors and accommodate educational programming and infrastructure, and thatâs done through the master plan process,â said Robert Pruitt, executive director.
