Branching Out: Building a Smarter Arboretum

Wednesday September 30, 2026 TBA

This summer 2026 project aims to bring the Rowe Arboretum into a more modern, easy-to-use digital environment. We’ll start by turning existing paper records into a centralized system and building a complete inventory of the arboretum’s roughly 4,000 plants. With the help of an intern, each plant will be mapped using GPS, creating an accurate, interactive view of the landscape.
Along the way, we’ll add helpful plant details and introduce simple tools to track maintenance and day-to-day work. The goal is to make information easier to access and manage for staff, while also creating a public dashboard that allows visitors to explore and learn more about the arboretum. A separate internal dashboard will support operations by organizing work orders and improving overall efficiency.
