Join Newport Tree Conservancy for a detailed look into the delicate art of coastal gardening.
Salt Marsh Arboretum is a species diverse landscape bordering on the restored salt marshes of Gooseneck Cove. Estate gardener Devin Skelly has worked on the property for 33 years, engaging in intensive restoration efforts involving the reestablishment of native species. Devin will show us around the arboretum, describe the horticultural and restorative work he has done, and showcase the plant collection. Highlights of the arboretum include a paperbark maple grove, young giant sequoia trees, a collection of buckeyes (Aesculus), and the rare wheel tree (Trochodendron aralioides). Please dress appropriately for the weather. Water is encouraged.
