Allyson Levy and Scott Serrano describe their arboretum as "an aesthetically arranged experiment station to test interesting and useful plants" — like honeyberry, a honeysuckle relative with blue fruit that ripens very early. Hortus Arboretum & Botanical Gardens
Hortus is an inspiration. Our thanks, as always, to Margaret Roach for sharing this:
Ms. Levy and Mr. Serrano are visual artists who moved to Stone Ridge, N.Y., 25 years ago. Hortus Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, their 21-acre undertaking, began as a backyard garden. Mia Allen
Their passion for fruit you've never heard of started small. Now they have a botanical garden that's open to the public.
This is what happens if you stay put, and keep digging holes: An effort that begins innocently enough — planting a garden at home — may grow on you. And it could morph into an arboretum.
