MADRID After the derecho that hit the Midwest in August destroyed approximately 40% of the Iowa Arboretum & Gardens’ collection of trees, Tyler Johnson, curator of collections and grounds, is launching a “ReLeaf” campaign fundraiser in the form of a webinar series.
Of the Arboretum’s more than 700 trees on its 40-acre main campus, over 275 were destroyed. The goal for this year is to plant 75-85 trees at the cost of $35,000. The cost could go up to $75,000, he said. All the new trees would be planted over a three-year period.
“Across the street, we’ve got probably at least over $100,000 worth of damage and repair to go,” he said.

It’s dark much of the so-called day, too.
But the weather outside, no matter how frightful, has no impact on the internet.
On it, there’s a bright, colorful, dazzling world of online sites filled with enough plant information to put a spring in the step of even the most winter-weary gardeners.
Winter is a prime time to figure out which plants you’ll want to add to your garden this year, and the sites we’ll mention are excellent sources of information to help you make an informed decision and avoid the “that one looks pretty” impulse-buy approach to horticultural purchases.
