Quitman Arboretum changes name to Wood County Arboretum
To better reflect the services provided, Quitman Arboretum and Botanical Gardens will become Wood County Arboretum and Botanical Gardens.
Deanna Caldwell, president of Friends of the Arboretum, made the announcement at the Stinson House’s holiday open house.
“We want people to understand we serve a wider audience and the community we serve,” she said. “Like the Wood County Courthouse is in Quitman, we’d like to say the Wood County Arboretum is in Quitman.”
She added that the website and emails for the arboretum will still connect with the name change.
Caldwell also announced two major 2019 projects for the arboretum, a reflection garden behind the Stinson House and iron fence in front.
She said the size and materials of the garden are being planned now. The design will incorporate the elements of fire, water, earth and air.
An iron fence was formerly at the Stinson House and Friends of the Arboretum hope to recreate it.
