Mission
“The endowment fund for the Arthur Hoyt
Scott Horticultural Foundation* has been given
to Swarthmore College to hold in trust and to
use for the encouragement of horticulture in
its broadest sense. The founders have wished
to help horticulture by visual demonstration.
They have believed that the dream can best be
realized by the planting in a public space of
such trees, shrubs, and flowers as can be used
by people of average means in the Philadelphia
suburban area. They wish this to be a practical
horticulture garden. The term ‘practical’ here
may be defined as referring to plants hardy,
without special care, in the climate of eastern
Pennsylvania. It is not the primary purpose of
the Scott Arboretum merely to beautify the
college campus. While the Foundation does
hope to improve the appearance of the campus,
the original thought of Mr. Scott was to call to
the attention of the casual visitor who comes
there the plants which can be grown outdoors
in eastern Pennsylvania. He wished to make
it possible for a beginner in gardening to visit
Swarthmore and see plants suitable for his own
conditions, rather than to see merely a beautiful picture. The Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural
Foundation is given for the purpose of enabling
Swarthmore College to acquire, cultivate,
and propagate the better kinds of living trees,
shrubs, and herbaceous plants which are hardy
in the climate of eastern Pennsylvania and
which are suitable for planting by the average
gardener.” (The Arthur Hoyt Scott Horticultural
Foundation, A Ten-Year History)
*The name was changed to the Scott
Arboretum in 1986.
Director’s Letter
November 14, 2008
commit to designing, constructing, and operating buildings that save energy and respect the
environment in creative and effective ways. We
excitedly anticipate the opening of the Wister
Center in 2009!
C. DYER
Dear Friend of the Scott Arboretum,
2008 was the year long-held Scott dreams came
true. After planning and fund-raising for more
than a decade, we began construction in earnest
on the Wister Education Center and Greenhouse
in November. There were a few days along the
way in that decade when it seemed the Wister
Center would remain only a dream. Such days
generally followed receiving an updated estimate on the projected building costs.
Projected costs grew from about $1 million to
become a $3.8 million price tag as costs steeply
climbed year after year. With several major
gifts in 2008, and generous advance financing
of $600,000 from Swarthmore College, we were
able to commit to contracts and get underway.
By the close of the year we had a foundation to
build on, literally.
Following the dramatic dip in Swarthmore
College and Arboretum endowment funds at the
close of 2008, all new major construction was
put on hold by the College. Had we not secured
this support and gotten underway when we did,
it’s hard to predict now how many more years the
Wister Center would have remained but a dream.
This dream, now nearly a reality, has the potential to transform the programs and operations of
the Arboretum. This beautiful building roughly
six times larger than the old Wister Greenhouse,
is infinitely more inspiring and better suited to
teaching, learning, growing plants, encouraging
and housing volunteers, making flower arrangements, propagating plants, and all the other
activities we will be able to do to bring people
and plants together to promote horticulture.
While this may be the last building added to
the campus for some years due to the “financial
crisis,” it is anticipated to be the first building
to earn the Silver LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) certification. We
will teach in the building, but the building
will teach by example. By sharing information
about the initiatives that earn LEED points, we
hope other organizations and individuals will
All through 2008, a committee composed of
College and Arboretum staff and volunteers
known as the “MAP Committee,” worked
through the Museum Assessment Program
(MAP) on Public Dimension thanks to a grant
received in 2007. We learned from the selfstudy exercises how the public perceives the
Arboretum so we might build our audience as
we build our new building. There are many who
live nearby who still don’t know the Arboretum
exists or know of our activities. With a new
understanding and awareness of how our community perceives the Arboretum, we armed a
visiting team of professionals with information
in preparation for a visit in 2009 for them to
make specific recommendations as to how we
can better serve our community and fulfill our
potential.
Our campus-arboretum changes lives and
inspires actions through horticulture. This was
acknowledged in 2008 in a variety of ways.
For one, with an award from the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society “…for an outstanding
public planting… improving the quality of
life through horticulture.” Secondly, we know
this by comments from parents of Swarthmore
College students like Lynn Corbett who wrote
on May 5, 2008, “Nyika loves Swarthmore – it
was her first choice because the campus is so
beautiful.” We also know the Arboretum has
far-reaching impact from colleagues such as
those who visited on October 27, 2008 from
the University of Maryland and later wrote to
say, “Our visit gave us much to think about and
strive for as we grow as an arboretum and botanical garden, we hope to follow your model…”
To fulfill the dreams and ambitions begun by
these building processes in 2008, we will need
volunteer support, financial contributions from
those who value what we do, and the talents and
dedication of our staff more than ever before as
we strive to do more with less. To all who have
made these dreams and efforts come this far,
I thank you and hope you feel a deep sense of
gratification while reviewing the accomplishments outlined in this report, as I do, and I
encourage you to keep dreaming, planning, and
building with us for a better green future.

Plant Collections and
Records
In 2008, 292 accessions representing 501
woody plants were added to the collections while 378 accessions representing
507 plants were removed or died. The total
number of distinct woody plant taxa stood
at 3,280 at year end representing 96 plant
families and 9,607 woody plants.
Collections with special status in 2008
included the Ilex (holly) collection recognized as a National Holly Arboretum by the
Holly Society of America with over 350
taxa. Also recognized as part of the North
American Plant Collections Consortium
(NAPCC) were the Quercus (oak), MagnoParrish

In 2008,it29
new
magnolias
were added
to our collection and a new cultivar was
registered with the Magnolia Society International – Magnolia denudata ‘Swarthmore
Sentinel’.
To assist with the maintenance and
educational value of the plant collection, all
woody plants are mapped using a Global
Positioning System (GPS) and computer
technology. In 2008, 6,571 plants were
mapped and 1,014 display labels were
made.
Plant Evaluation
In 2008 the Arboretum participated in three
plant evaluation programs in keeping with
its mission to display the best plants for
home horticulture: The Gold Medal Award
program sponsored by the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society; the National Boxwood Trial Program; and the Holly Society
of America’s holly evaluation program.
Landscape Projects
In 2008, a variety of landscape projects
were completed improving both the appearance of the campus and the richness of
our collections and demonstrating “green”
management. These included:
• Planting the landscape designed by Olin
Partnership around Kemp Hall.
• Planting the green roof of Kemp Hall.
• Establishing a nursery, protected from
deer, off Avondale Road, and planting 130
specimens in it.
• Planting the enhanced entry area around
the Swarthmore College boulder.
• Planting the new entry ramp to emphasize
summer blooming plants at Old Tarble.
• Planting a variety of perennials to assess
as lawn alternatives in the Hicks, Beardsley,
and Science Center areas.
• Replanting street trees – 10 maples –
along the Whittier entrance.
The Bender oak transformed
by Marty Long.
• Enhancing our perennial plantings
campus-wide in anticipation of hosting the
Perennial Plant Association’s annual meeting held in Philadelphia in July.
• Engaging Marty Long to carve a giant
oak leaf from the stump of the Bender Oak.
• Re-siting the Class of 1895 Sundial in
front of Pearson Hall.
Crum Woods Stewardship
Kemp Hall joins the campus in 2008
along with a garden featuring Gold
Medal Plants.
The Crum Woods, one of the last large
“natural” areas in Delaware County, represents a special part of the Scott Arboretum.
In 2008, 426 hours were given to Crum
Woods work from our volunteers helping
us manage this area by removing exotic
weeds, restoring trails and water bars, and
removing trash.
On August 4, on the annually held
Crum Woods and Creek Cleanup Day,
32 staff and members of the community
worked in the Crum Woods on these ongoing efforts.
The Crum Woods Stewardship committee spent considerable time and effort in
2008 exploring better ways to manage the
deer population, which represents a threat
to the long-term sustainability of the Crum
Woods ecosystem.

Education
In 2008, 6,396 participated in programs held by the Scott
Arboretum staff and Scott Associates, ranging from free guided
walks of the Arboretum to nationally known conferences. This
figure doesn’t account for the casual visitors to the Arboretum.
The campus is free and open to the public 365 days a year, dawn
to dusk, so we have no way to count garden visitors. It could,
however, be argued that from mid-August to mid-May we
average about 2,000 visitors a day since students, staff, and
faculty visit the campus daily! The attendance figure above is
based on specific programs conducted.
Conferences
The Arboretum hosted two major conferences in 2008. On
July 18 we held the 12th annual Woody Plant Conference
drawing 397 to the day-long event; on October 17 we hosted
the 25th annual Perennial Plant Conference with 581 participating. These events, with nationally and internationally known
speakers, a reasonable registration price, and staged in the Lang
Performing Arts Center surrounded by Arboretum gardens and
collections, continue to draw participants both near and far.
Arbor Day Celebration
Lectures
The free lunchtime lectures, perennial favorites, are among
the first educational events of the year. Designed to share garden
travels in weekly lectures held from mid-January into March, this
series allows staff and other horticulturists in the region to share
observations of plants and gardens around the world. In 2008, the
17th year for this program, 625 attended six lectures (an average
of 104 per lecture), and vicariously visited Sweden and Russia,
China, Chile, Madagascar, Quebec, and Peru.
Six other free lectures were offered through the year with a
total attendance of 417, an average of 70 per lecture. Speakers
included:
• Greg Speichert on “Landscape Principles for Water Gardening”
• Tom Fischer on “The Tale Your Garden Tells”
• Jeff Jabco on “Water in the Garden” – an opportunity for the
gardener to “Help the Planet”
• Paul Meyer on “Plants, People and Landscapes of the Republic
of Georgia”
• David Howard, the former head gardener to the Prince of
Wales, for the 2008 Plantsman’s Lecture generously made
possible by an anonymous donor.
• Richard Lighty on “Good Plants: 70 Years of Hopes, Failures,
and Successes”
On April 24, a special Arbor Day celebration was held in
the Cherry Border, bringing 493 elementary students to the
Arboretum from the Swarthmore-Rutledge School. Following
the Arbor Day Proclamation delivered by Eck Gerner, Mayor
of Swarthmore, students assisted in planting a cherry tree in the
Cherry Border, among other activities. All students were also
given a red oak (Quercus rubra) for their own planting of a tree
on Arbor Day.
Community Garden Program
The Arboretum offers the opportunity to Scott Associates
to garden on plots for a nominal rental fee, thereby providing
the opportunity to members to “grow locally.” In 2008, 18
participated.
Greens Sale
On December 9, the 5th annual Greens Sale, held at the
Arboretum office, made beautiful wreaths and fresh cut greens
available for year-end home decorating. Nearly 70 customers
and a team of volunteers, who created wreaths and bundled
greens, helped the Arboretum raise $1,739 in support of
Arboretum programs.

Education
Workshops
Learning by doing is especially important when it comes
to gardening and so the Scott Arboretum is committed to
providing intimate, individualized instruction providing hands-on
practice through workshops. In 2008, workshop topics included
dogwoods, composting, conifer identification, pruning, organic
container gardening, magnolias, bird-lovers’ gardening, flower
arranging, tropical containers, rosaceous shrubs, oak identification,
cutting edge woody plants, winter containers, lawn
alternatives, and green wreaths. These were covered in 25
workshops serving 326 participants, an average of 13 students per
workshop.
Swarthmore College Student Program
In 2008, the Scott Arboretum continued to offer unique
learning opportunities to Swarthmore College students through
a work-mentoring program. Eleven positions were offered and
during the two semesters, 24 students participated (see list, page
7). By offering positions in collections care and management,
educational programming, volunteer management, and publicity,
the Arboretum can provide valuable opportunities for students to
develop skills in not-for-profit organizational operations.
Tours
Regularly scheduled, free guided tours of the Arboretum’s
gardens and plant collections were offered to the public each
month. In 2008 staff-led weekend tours, weekday “Walks with the
Curator,” and focused tours on the green roofs provided a variety
of opportunities to learn; 496 participated on 29 walks. Custom
tours were offered to visiting groups from both near and far as
well; 536 participated from 23 groups in these tours. Throughout
the year we also offered several tours by cell phone which drew
713 listeners in 2008.
Travel Program
Learning by visiting other gardens is an invaluable way to draw
inspiration and develop knowledge of plants. Day trips visited the
Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania collectors’
gardens, Greenwood Gardens, and private gardens in New Jersey.
An overnight trip to Western Pennsylvania included sites around
Pittsburgh and a 3-week trip of “Gardens, Wine and Wilderness” to
New Zealand included stops on both the North and South Islands.
A total of 140 traveled with Arboretum staff on these outings.
Swarthmore College Events
The Arboretum stages a variety of programs and events throughout the year specifically aimed at serving the College student and
employee community. These include tours for Family Weekend;
Alumni Weekend; rose-pinning on graduating seniors and the
presentation of a graduation gift of Itea virginica ‘Henry’s Garnet’,
a plant named at the Scott Arboretum; and tours offered during
new staff and faculty orientation sessions. Incoming students are
also invited to an open house and presented with a houseplant for
their residence hall rooms each August.
Publications
In 2008, free interpretive brochures on over two dozen different
Scott Arboretum plant collections and gardens were offered free
to the public. Over 7,100 copies of these were used by visitors
during the year. These are all now available on the Scott
Arboretum website allowing visitors to print those of interest.
All forms of publications in 2008 totaled over 35,500 pieces.

Group B & C funds are charged overhead and grounds crew time by the College; these
funds are not managed as separate accounts.
*While all these funds are managed as a part of Swarthmore College’s portfolio, Group
A funds are managed as separate accounts to which direct charges are made related to the
specific purposes. No College overhead is charged to these funds.
The Scott Arboretum and the Scott Associates completed the
2007-2008 fiscal year with reserve funds and with the total revenue exceeding total expenses. Over $650,000 was received in contributions for the year. With the 2008 contributions for the Wister
Center, over $3M was raised or pledged by the close of 2008.
However, the fiscal year closed with a drop in market value
of endowment funds. Endowment funds dedicated to the Scott
Arboretum and managed as a part of Swarthmore College’s portfolio had a collective market value of $26,546,699 (See Table
1) as of June 30, 2008 down by 2.3% from the previous year.
Endowment distribution accounted for nearly 54% of total revenue
and 70% of total expenses for the year. Other general operating expenses were provided for with support from Pennsylvania
Historical and Museum Commission grants, totaling over $37,500
in the fiscal year (nearly 5% of expenses). Scott membership support and registration fees provided for 15% of expenses.
Marketing and Publicity
To fulfill the mission of the Arboretum we need to continually
inform the community about our programs and services. In 2008
we did that through the use of press releases, our website, emails,
and blogs; very little money is dedicated to paid advertising.
A weeping cherry in front
of the Meetinghouse
In the year, 96 different press releases were issued and picked
up by 158 different publications resulting in 208 known calendar
listings and 35 stories. From cover stories to photographs, from
radio announcements to web-based listings, a total of 658 publicity
items were logged in 2008, up from 453 in 2007.
There were 1,462,215 visits to our website in 2008, (compared
to 1,220,552 in 2007), a 20% increase from last year representing
111,151 distinct viewers (compared to 95,983 in 2007), a 16%
increase.
Additional websites sponsored in part by the Scott Arboretum
included the Greater Philadelphia Gardens site (www.greaterphiladelphiagardens.org). This site promotes over 30 public gardens in
the region and in 2008 had 1,413 subscribers to the weekly emails.
The site averaged about 3,500 unique viewers each month. The
Woody Plant Conference website (www.woodyplantconference.
org) and the Perennial Plant Conference website (www.perennialplantconference.org) promote these two annually held conferences
and the PlantSource site (www.plantsourcedelval.org) lists sources
of plants in the Philadelphia region. The Woody site had 40,192
hits in 2008; the Perennial site, 41,055. In the last four months of
2008 the PlantSource recorded monthly total hits varying from
22,685 to 51,158.

Scott Medal Award
Established in 1930 with the gift of an endowment fund from
Margaret and Owen Moon, the Scott Medal and Award program recognizes individuals who have made an outstanding national contribution to the art and science of gardening. This award is regarded by
many in the horticulture field as one of the most prestigious forms of
recognition.
In 2008, the Scott Medal and Award, consisting of a cash award of
$12,000, roughly equivalent to the value of the original $1,000 given
in 1930, and medal (pictured here) was bestowed on Nina Bassuk at
the Spring Festival held on March 15.
Nina Bassuk has served on the faculty of Horticultural Physiology
at Cornell University since 1980, becoming Full Professor in
1993. She is program leader for the Urban Horticulture Institute
which includes teaching, research, and extension efforts directed
at enhancing the function and health of plants growing in urban
and disturbed areas. Her research has been widely published in
trade periodicals and in her book: Trees in the Urban Landscape:
Site Assessment Design and Installation, published by Wiley &
Sons and co-authored with Peter Trowbridge.
Nina has received numerous other awards including the DavidAllee Campus-Connection Award in 2003 and 2005 from the
Association of Natural Resource Extension Professionals, and in
1999 the Outstanding New Publication Award from New York
State Agricultural Agents.
An eight-member committee, as specified by the original
donors, is charged with selecting the recipient from nominees.
The 2008 Selection Committee was composed of: Rick Colbert,
Director of Tyler Arboretum; David Culp, Past-Chair, Hardy
Plant Society Mid-Atlantic Group; Tom Fischer, Executive Editor,
Timber Press; Elizabeth Scholtz, Director-Emeritus, Brooklyn
Botanic Garden; W. Gary Smith, landscape architect, W. Gary
Smith Design; Dan Stark, Executive Director, American Public
Garden Association; Gwen Stauffer, Director of Ganna Walska

Associates Accomplishments
Arboretum Assistants
A special group of volunteers carry the title of Arboretum Assistants. These individuals have completed a training course and
made the commitment to volunteer on a regularly scheduled basis
for at least one entire growing season. (See list of 2008 Arboretum
Assistants on page 13). In 2008, volunteers gave 9,077 hours to the
organization, up from 8,266 in 2006 (also a non-Plant Sale year).
Ongoing training sessions for all Arboretum Assistants are offered
annually and in 2008 four were held on topics including tool maintenance, plant molecular genetics, and champion trees.
Festivals
The annually held Spring and Fall Festivals are events featuring
speakers, receptions, and the distribution of members plant dividends. In the Spring, Nina Bassuk spoke after receiving the 2008
Scott Medal and Award; in the fall Keith Wiley, the renowned head
gardener at The Garden House in Devon, England spoke. In 2008
362 attended these two festivals.
Finance
The Scott Associates manage funds generated by Associate-sponsored activities and the budgeting and accounting efforts were overseen by treasurer, Julie Vrooman, who presented reports to Council
at their regular meetings in 2008. The fiscal year ended with a
balance of $38,595 in the Scott Associates account (see Table 3).
Garden Day
In 2008, seven private gardens were open on Scott Associates
Garden Day in the region of Ridley Creek State Park, followed by a
reception at Tyler Arboretum. Scott Associates enjoyed free admission; tickets could be purchased for $25. Over 278 participated.
Special thanks to Sabine Cranmer, Marilyn Holstrom, Pat Horwitz,
Inta Krombolz, Martina Martin, Barbara Mercer, Conny Parsons,
and staff at the Tyler Arboretum for sharing their properties with us
and inspiring us all to get to work in our own gardens.
Library
In 2008, library volunteers gave 200 hours towards maintaining our
learning library. Members of the Scott Associates have borrowing privileges from the Arboretum’s horticulture library of over 50
magazines, over 100 catalogs, and over 1,300 volumes dedicated to
horticulture.
Members’ Plant Exchange
On Saturday, May 17, 2008, the 13th annual Members’ Plant Exchange was held thanks to 37 volunteers giving 256 hours to help
with accepting and staging the plants and orchestrating the rush
of members during the exchange. Over 2,000 plants found homes
among 109 participants; after the swap, remaining plants were sold,
mostly at $1 each, generating income of $1,700.
Education
The Education Committee met several times in 2008 to review,
evaluate, plan, and develop ideas for educational programming
sponsored by the Associates which is announced in the Schedule of
Events and mailed to all members twice a year. This committee also
advises Education Coordinator Julie Jenney on the contents of the
Hybrid, the quarterly newsletter, another Scott Associates membership benefit.

In 2008 planning commenced for the 2009 Plant Sale under able co-chairs Margo Coffin Groff and
Maria Hingley, and co-vice chairs Bette Ortoleva and Kate Sevensky. Finding subcommittee chairs,
researching and selecting plants, and seeking and soliciting support are Plant Sale activities in even
years. Efforts will culminate at the biennial event held September 11-13, 2009.
Winter Celebration
On January 12, the 27th annual Winter Celebration was held in the Science Center and Eldridge
Commons, taking advantage of this stunning building as a new venue to gather in after the holidays. Harold Sweetman, Ph.D., shared some of his experiences of plant trekking in Arunachal
Pradesh, India in pursuit of dozens of species of rhododendrons, followed by an Indian cuisine
themed grazing menu; 125 participated.

Gertrude Wister Society
The Gertrude Wister Society was established in 2003 to encourage bequests and
planned gifts to the Scott Arboretum and to
publicly thank and acknowledge individuals
who have chosen to support the Arboretum
in this way. The Society was named in
honor of Gertrude Wister whose bequest to
the Arboretum was over $450,000 in 1999.
The endowment fund established from that
bequest generated nearly $25,000 to support
operations in 2008.
