Hello, Carl. To quickly answer your question, an arboretum is, by definition, a collection of trees and is typically used for research. The idea behind an ‘interpretive garden’ is to use a collection of trees, shrubs, and/or flowers as a mean to educate. In the case of the Goggio Foundation Interpretive Garden, we have used native plant species to teach the Great Basin Institute’s many volunteers, form all corners of the world, about the diverse flora across the region.

By definition or mission statement would you please define a “Interpretive Garden”. How does it differ from an arboretum? Thanks, Carl
