ESPERANCE While much of the world slowed down this past year, things at the George Landis Arboretum only seemed to pick up.
“In the middle of this crazy pandemic, we . . . got more things done than normal and we had more visitors turn out than ever before too,” said Fred Breglia, the executive director.
One of the most obvious, and perhaps timely changes, is the addition of a meditation garden. Located right next to the greenhouse, it features a pond with a small bridge stretching across it, leading to a pavilion with benches that convert into picnic tables.
