1 Potato Golden Hawaiian Butterfly Garden Guiana Chestnut The Deerfield Beach Arboretum

2 What is an Arboretum? According to Webster s Dictionary an Arboretum is described as a botanical garden for scientific, educational or decorative purposes, but as explained by the City Forester Zeke Landis in 1995 to a group of school children attending an Arbor Day Ceremony in Constitution Park, it is a Zoo. The analogy is that if a group of animals on display were determined to be in a zoo, then this display of many strange and different types of s and palms must be a zoo also, a Zoo. The Deerfield Beach Arboretum is home to more than 200 different species of s and palms from five continents around the world. The following pages provide a list and description of these s along with an arboretum location to help you find the using the grid on the map below. Enjoy the Arboretum...

14 History and Acknowledgements Concept, Birth and Development began in the 1980 s actually. Century Village horticulture activist A. Byron berg co-authored with Commissioner Joseph Tractenberg a recommendation to the City Commission that the new tract of land obtained from Deer Creek be used as a passive park, featuring Horticulture. The Commission chose instead to make it an active park for the local neighborhood and proceeded to develop it along those lines. The park was dedicated as Constitution Park. A recreation center building was built along with a basket ball court, two tennis courts and a tot lot playground. They also installed a one half mile jogging trail complete with exercise points and two gazebos. This was the completion of the planned development except for a limited amount of basic landscaping which was added in the form of shade s for the parking lot and jogging trail. In 1994 the City Forester, Zeke Landis, with the support of the Deerfield Beach Beautification Authority approached the City Manager, Larry Deetjen, with the Arboretum idea. The City Manager gave it the o.k. with the City Commission approval and the development began immediately. Letters were written to nurseries in Dade, Broward and Beach Counties notifying them of the project and asking for donations of specimens with which to get started. The response was terrific and the Arboretum started to grow immediately. The first donated s were very large specimens of Royal s from Ron Turner, owner of Movers Inc. in Boynton Beach. Architect Bruce Reed with assistance from fellow architects Kevin Cavaioli and Jeffry Siegel laid out the original plan for the arboretum. It was to include flowering s, natives, exotics, palms, cycads, and wetland s. There is also a bamboo forest being developed by the Society of South. Development has been rapid and now includes over two hundred species of s and palms from five continents. Added to the inventory was a Butterfly garden, a rare tropical fruit orchard and a wetland learning center. Maintenance is being handled by a volunteer corps assisted by the Grounds maintenance of Public Works. Jerry Behan, is curator of the s, Phillip Walker is curator of Rare Fruit s and Mel Capron is curator of the s. Horticulture internist and assistant Peter Meyer from Broward Community College is a part time employee of the City of Deerfield Beach and is the mainstay of all activity in the development of the Arboretum. The location of the Arboretum is 2841 West Hillsboro Blvd. in Deerfield Beach and is located in Constitution Park. The Park s Director is Cheryl Thompson who has enthusiastically supported the activities in the Arboretum and uses the facility in her programing. Technical support: There are many experts from the horticulture professional field who have been giving support to the Arboretum. Both Broward County and the Beach County Extension services have been very valuable resources in our work. Individuals on our Consultant Board include; former curator H. W. Zeke Landis, Landscape and Consultant; David McLean of B.C.C.; Carl Carlisle, City of Coconut Creek; Lowell Showalter, City of Boca Raton; Bruce Reed of Ft. Lauderdale; Jeffry Siegel, City of Plantation; Kevin Cavaioli of Ft. Lauderdale; Bill Harms of Delray Beach; John Harris of Hollywood; Jesse Durko of Davie; Joseph Garafolo of Miami; Aileen Waech of Broward County and A. Bryron berg of Deerfield Beach. Additional assistance has been given by Bob Haele of the Sun Sentinel, Gene Joyner of West Beach, private consultant Al Will, Don Evens, the Director of Horticulture for Fairchild Gardens. Various chapters of the Federated Garden Clubs have also been very supportive. Carl Hoyt of Stiles Landscape designed the Wetland Area. Booklet Design and Photography by Glenn Robinson of Graphic Persuasion, Inc. There are many more actively interested organizations and individuals involved to make this a landmark horticulture attraction. All grant funds have been obtained through the efforts of Terrence Moore of the City of Deerfield Beach.

15 Arboretum Sponsors Hong Kong Orchid Most of the 200 plus s and palms that make up the Deerfield Beach Arboretum are sponsored by individuals, corporations or organizations. Some s have been donated by local nurseries and others were purchased with funds raised through our memorial program. This is a list of Arboretum sponsors and volunteers who have contributed s, materials and/or services. STILES LDSCP. DR. ANDREW BRUNO SABAL OAK NSY.
