Season 1 Episode 7: Conversation with Shari Edelson, Outgoing Director of Operations at the Arboretum at Penn State

Keeping It Green

Margaret and Tom discuss horticulture adventures with Shari Edelson of the Arboretum at Penn State. What is it like working at a relatively new arboretum (opened in 2009)? How are gardens initiated, funded, and constructed? Maintained? Shari will share her experience and changing role in almost a decade of time at the Arboretum. Plus, we discuss the latest addition to the landscape, the pollinator garden. And what is up with the dead trees in the new garden? Finally, Shari mentions she is the outgoing director and gives details on her future endeavors (Hint – some of it can be found at https://thetrek.co/author/shari-edelson/).
