BOTANICAL GARDENS, ARBORETA AND RELATED INSTITUTIONS
IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA: A STUDY OF
CHARACTERISTICS AND SELECTED PROGRAMS
By
Marvin Charles Ellenbecker
This study delves into the characteristics and seléct programs
of botanical gardens, arboreta, and other related institutions. It
looks at these institutions from the viewpoint of the social scientist
rather than the natural scientist because the study involves people
not plants. The relationship that exists between the general public
and these institutions is an important one. The majority of the
institutions studied are located in urban areas and often their pro-
grams are supported by public monies. These institutions are unique
in that they include green islands of plant materials within areas
that are often devoid of plants.
An internal glance into the functions of the institutions
gives some interesting results. Despite the differences in institu-
tion classification, the research data indicates that the social
functions of the institutions are similar. The terms arboretum and
botanical garden deal with the plant collections and not the social
interactions in which the institutions are involved. The institu-
tions offer courses to the general public that go beyond the natural
science disciplines.
Marvin Charles Ellenbecker
The study had four basic objectives: (l) to obtain data on
the programs offered by the institutions; (2) to plot institution
growth and geographical distribution; (3) to determine institution
purpose; and (4) to gain an insight into the background and experi-
ence of those who are the key administrators at the institutions.
The research centers on a questionnaire that was developed
and mailed to 30l institutions in the United States and Canada.
Seventy-three variables were utilized in obtaining data on the
respondents.
Although related studies have been undertaken on smaller
scales, a study of this scope has not been previously conducted.
The data presented here are primarily objective but several vari-
ables are totally subjective and were designed that way purposely.
The response from the institutions queried was gratifying.
The sample populations represented were felt to be valid and indica-
tive of the United States and Canadian populations.
Frequently the data are presented in tabular form which makes
it easy to compare and comprehend. The appendices contain the
mensural tools and those data that pertain to the whole study.
The information given in the study should be of interest to
the administrators of the institutions researched because the
emphasis of the study centers on an integral part of the institu-
tion's purpose: to serve people in their quest for knowledge,
recreation and public good.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Botanical gardens and arboreta are historic yet dynamic insti-
tutions in contemporary society. How have botanical gardens,
arboreta, and related institutions in the United States and Canada
been able to remain vital without losing their traditional heritage
with the past? Nhat part of the current popular success experienced
by these institutions can be attributed to their programs and activi-
ties? Nhat programs and activities are these institutions currently
involved in and how significant are these programs and activities?
History
Botanical gardens and arboreta have been a part of society
since the dawn of civilization. ’In_the ancienthabylonian and Greek
cultures, sacredgroves of trees were established thatcbadureligiqys
significance as well as_aesthetic,qualjtjg§,M,Historical records of
zfflr-‘l—
_/
MNGStern civilization attest to the fact that royalty and the wealthier
classes cultivated herbs and exotic plants. This practice was prob-
ably as much a measure of social status as it was for any botanical
or aesthetic endeavors.f
No actual date can be documented for the first botanical
garden or arboretum. Those who take the Bible literally would credit
the Garden of Eden as being the first botanical garden. However,
1
this claim would be challenged by researchers in several scientific
disciplines. Contenau mentions botanical gardens and arboreta in his
account of ancient civilization. He says,
. . . besides cultivating gardens for purely utilitarian pur-
poses, the kings of Assyria enjoyed creating botanical gar-
dens, containing collections of non-indigenous species--
notably the plants and trees of the Amanus mountains. In
much the same way, the Egyptian kings instructed their expedi-
tions to collect and bring back the rarest species.
The famed Hanging Gardens of Babylon were considered one of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient World.
In Colonial America, John Bartram, an early American plant
explorer, established the first botanical garden in l728. Bartram's
Garden was located in Philadelphia on the Schuylkill River and
featured many of the native plants of the new colonies, including the
rare and mysterious Franklinia alatamaha. This garden is now a part
of Philadelphia's Fairmount Park. Other early gardens of this period
have been lost.2 Many botanical gardens and arboreta had their
origins as hobbies or as recreation for individuals or families.
Later, these gardens were transferred, partially or entirely, to tax
supported institutions such as universities, segments of the state

or federal government, or as additions to municipal park and recrea-
tion departments.3
In Canada, the Montreal Botanical Garden, which is publicly
owned by the City of Montreal, owes its existence to the efforts of
Brother Marie-Victorin, E.C. and others.4
Botanical gardens, arboreta and special gardens have become
areas of passive recreation in modern society.
Today the public sector provides for many of our constructive
spare time activities and museums, art galleries, zoological
gardens, arboretums [sigj and similarly spegialized institu-
tions are important adjuncts of recreation.
However, the private sector still provides an important contribution
to society through each of the above-mentioned institutions. Thus
botanical gardens, arboreta and special gardens, both public and
private, offer many hours of pleasure and learning to young and old
people alike in the United States and Canada.
Definition of Terms
Institution refers to those establishments that are being
analyzed in this study. Specifically, they include arboreta, botani-
cal gardens, and related institutions in the United States and Canada.
The related institutions are special types: historical gardens,

can Arboreta and Botanical Gardens," The Longwood Program Seminars,

specialized plant material areas, cultural centers. They also include
environmental and natural recreational areas. Related institutions
share a common purpose with botanical gardens and arboreta but their
differences are great enough to warrant a special category for them
as they are neither botanical gardens nor arboreta pgr_§g,
Programs are formal plans that have been developed by the
institutions such as facilities to accommodate the blind and handi-
capped, to conduct and to initiate research and plant exploration.
No response refers to those respondents who did not answer
that particular question on the questionnaire.
§M§A_(Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area) is an inte-
grated economic and social unit with a large population nucleus.
Current criteria require one city with 50,000 or more inhabitants
or a city having a population of at least 25,000 which, with the
addition of the population of contiguous places, incorporated or
unincorporated, has a population density of at least 1,000 persons
per square mile. This population, as a whole, constitutes, for
general social and economic purposes, a single community with a
combined population of at least 50,000 inhabitants. The county or
counties in which the city and contiguous places are located is also
required to have a total population of at least 75,000. In New
England, cities must have a minimum population of 75,000 inhabitants
to qualify as an SMSA. In addition, the SMSA includes the county in
which the central city is located and adjacent counties that are
determined to be metropolitan in character and economically and
socially integrated with the county of the central city.6
Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) constitutes a metropolitan
area that represents the main labor market of a continuous built-up
area having a population of 100,000 or more.7 The Canadian CMA is
the equivalent of the SMSA in the United States.
Botanical garden and arboretum are terms that are difficult
to define. A precise definition is probably impossible. A few defi-
nitions by several professional individuals and organizations in
this field follow:
Botanic garden-—a collection of growing plants the primary
purpose of which is the advancement and diffusion of botani-
cal knowledge . . . It is one of the marks of greatness
and sound judgment of Sir William Hooker, that he aimed
definitely to make Kew Gardens not only a scientific insti-
tution of the first rank, but to make them beautiful--
attractive to the general public. This latter aim has
been too often neglected or minimized, on the theory that
a botanical garden is a scientific institution, and should,
therefore, be developed with little regard for the non-
scientific public. This is an unfortunate and unfair atti-
tude, unfair to the general public, especially in those
gardens which are supported in part by public money, and
unfortunate for botanical science because it not only
neglects a very important aspect of botany--applied botany--
but loses the opportunity of enlisting the intelligent
sympathy of the community with botanical endeavor. Many
persons who might otherwise remain quite indifferent to
botanical work in general, or even to the work of a given
garden in particular, may, through being attracted pri-
marily by the beauty of the collections and grounds, be
led to give generous support to such work, or even to

discover that their own main interest is botany, and ulti-
mately to advance the science by their own studies . . .3
A botanic garden is an institution organized to maintain
plant collections. It usually includes a large number of
genera and species and is arranged to serve educational,
aesthetic, scientific, or economic purposes. Botanical
gardens also serve as places of recreation.
An arboretum or botanic garden is an ample area set aside
for the growing and effective display of all the different
kinds of worthy ornamental trees, shrubs, vines and other
plants which can be grown in a given area, their mainte-
nance, proper labeling and study . . . An arboretum differs
from a botanic garden in that the emphasis is placed on the
growing of woody plants in the arboretum, whereas in the
botanical garden emphasis is not placed on the growing of
any particular kind of plant, but all types are grown . . .
Both differ from a park in that in the former a serious
effort has been made to plant an extensive collection of
many kinds of labeled plants, not only for the purpose of
display but also for critical examination and scientific
study . . . Both a park and an arboretum or botanical
garden can be used for recreational purposes; but the
arboretum or botanical garden go beyond the park in that
they become highly educational to many of their visi-
tors . . . The purpose of any arboretum, be it large or
small, is to grow (and to keep labeled) the best of the
ornamental woody plants which will thrive in a given
locality . . . Botanical gardens may have even wider func-
tions for their aims are wider, including as they do repre-
sentatives from the Tropics to the Arctic, grown outside
or under glass . . . 0

study: for the latter purpose often arranged in closely
related groups.1
Nearly all arboretums [sng attempt to specialize in some
group or groups of plants. Ideally the plant collection
should be meaningful; there should be some plan and design
behind the selection of the plant materials to be grown.
To fill the task completely an arboretum should not only
attract visitors because of the information it provides
but also becagse of its beauty and its display of showy
ornamentals.
However, when it comes to distinguishing between a botanical garden
and arboretum, it is difficult to define clearly the two institu-
tions. To quote Donald Hyman,
It is very difficult to draw a clear line between a garden,
a park, and an arboretum or botanical garden . . . A garden
is usually for the personal enjoyment and recreation of the
owners and their friends. A park is established primarily
for recreation of the public. An arboretum or botanical
garden, although it may be used for public enjoyment and
recreation, usually is established specifically for the
education of the public; its plants are labeled or recorded
properly and its functions include a certain amount of
research concerning the plants, their culture and use.13
This dichotomy is also emphasized by Bunce et al.,
Some arboreta and botanical gardens are primarily recrea-
tional in nature with heavy emphasis on horticultural plant-
ings and related developments; a few restrict plantings and
activities to one or more species; many are affiliated with
colleges and universities primarily for study purposes, and
a few even with elementary and high schools; some are pri-
vately operated with public admission restrictions; several

specialize in research studies, and ecological studies of
plant associations. Like people, they come in all shapes
and sizes; and as with parks, there are many differences.14
Objectives
This study has the following objectives: (1) To determine
the scope and extent of programs and other activities being con-
ducted at botanical gardens, arboreta and related institutions in
the United States and Canada; (2) To trace the growth of these insti-
tutions to determine whether they are increasing in number and if
so, in which geographical regions of the United States and Canada
this increase is occurring; (3) To show that botanical gardens,
arboreta and related institutions perform similar functions, making
it difficult to differentiate one type from another; (4) To ascertain
the professional training and experience of those who administer the
overall programs and activities of botanical gardens, arboreta and
related institutions in the United States and Canada.
Literature Review
Data relating to the programs, activities and other informa-
tion pertaining to botanical gardens, arboreta and related institu-
tions are collected and published by a number of organizations. The
American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta publishes Ihg_
Bulletin, a quarterly journal which deals with current issues and
problems that are encountered by its member organizations. Articles
in each issue are often on a particular theme: education programs,
14Bunce et al., Arboreta, Botanical Gardens, Special Gardens,
propagation techniques, a guide to institutional membership. The
American Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta, usually
referred to as the AABGA, has a current membership of approximately
81 institutions according to the organization membership list (1974);
this figure is difficult to determine precisely because many insti-
tutions are listed in the individual membership section in conjunc-
tion with the name of the director or principal officer.
The American Horticultural Society publishes the Directory of
American Horticulture. This handbook provides a comprehensive guide
to the most important functions in horticulture that are currently
being performed in the United States and Canada. One section of this
handbook includes a list of botanical gardens, arboreta and related
institutions by states and provinces. This list provided the primary
sample population that was used for this study. The AABGA member-
ship list was used to obtain the names and locations of those insti-
tutions that were not in the state and province listing. The
Directory of American Horticulture and the American Association of
Botanical Gardens and Arboreta, Inc. Membership List, 1974 furnished
the names and locations of 266 and 33 institutions respectively for
a total sample population of 301 institutions* (see Appendix A-l).
No doubt there are institutions that could have been included in the
study, but which are not active members of either the AABGA or
American Horticultural Society.
*Two institutions, Fenner Arboretum and Riveredge Nature
Center were included because the author had prior knowledge of their
existence, even though they were not on either of the above-mentioned
lists.
10
Several other sources provided valuable information for this
study. The Prosepctive Role of an Arboretum, a report prepared under
the auspices of The Institute for the Study of Science in Human
Affairs, Columbia University, and published in cooperation with the
Holden Arboretum is an in-depth study of the involvement of arboreta
and botanical gardens in today's society and focuses on the role
these institutions should play in the future. The appendices of
this bulletin provided valuable data which have been incorporated
into the data reported in this research paper.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden in a special issue of its publi-
cation Plants and Gardens entitled "American Gardens--A Traveler's
Guide" offers information on travel, major plant materials, history,
admission fees, and the administrative agency for 200 gardens in
the United States and Canada. The gardens included in this guide
are arranged by geographical region.
The National Recreation and Park Association published
Management Aides Bulletin No. 90, Arboreta, Botanical Gardens,
Special Gardens that deals with the differences of these institu-
tions. Appendix A of this publication is a list of arboreta, botani-
cal gardens and special gardens in the United States and Canada.
The Arboretums [Sig] and Botanical Gardens of North America
lists 99 botanic gardens and arboreta in the United States and 7 in
Canada. It includes information on plant materials, ownership, key
personnel, operating budgets, publications and the date founded for
those institutions named in this directory.
11
The Longwood Program offers a seminar series to its gradu-
ates that features key personnel from botanical gardens, arboreta
and related institutions. These speakers discuss topics of current
interest in this field.
Steven A. Frowine in his unpublished Master's thesis, "An
Educator's Guide to Arboreta and Botanical Gardens in the North-
eastern United States and Nearby Canada" includes 76 arboreta and
botanical gardens that offer education programs. This guide is of
special interest to those in the field of education.
The International Directorygof Botanical Gardens II is
devoted to botanical gardens throughout the world. The institutions
are categorized by city rather than by state or province. This
directory includes 115 institutions in the United States and 9 in
Canada. The institution information includes: status, area, rain-
fall, temperature, taxa, hours of operation, facilities (herbaria,
greenhouses), publications, and the names of the director and other
staff members.
CHAPTER II
METHODOLOGY
A questionnaire was developed to generate the data required
to satisfy the objectives stated in Chapter I. This questionnaire
served as the statistical tool for all primary research that was
conducted in this study. The questionnaire (Appendix A-2) had as
its primary function: (1) to determine the extent of programs that
are being conducted at the present time by institutions; (2) to
obtain general information on the institutions regarding size, loca-
tion, prime function, when established; (3) to determine how insti-
tutions are funded, their status and priorities; (4) to gather
visitor information, age group data, peak visitor season data and
to project trends in the role of these institutions; and (5) to
ascertain the experience and academic training of those who direct
the operations and make decisions that relate to the implementation
of programs and activities of these institutions.
The questionnaire was developed with as many close-ended
questions as possible to provide uniformity and ease in processing
the data. Where only partially close-ended questions could be
devised, multiple choice questions were used with one choice labeled
"other" and space was provided for the respondent to fill in the
appropriate response.
12
13
The right hand column of the questionnaire was delineated and.
pre-coded; however, several errors in the pre-coding made it unusable
and it was necessary to code the responses directly from the question-
naire to a summary sheet. The four page questionnaire was electro-
stated and was constructed in a folding arrangement that prevented
any one page from being removed or lost. The color of the question-
naire was sulfide green, as was the mailer envelope. It was hoped
that the color would attract special attention to the questionnaire.
A cover letter (Appendix A-2) accompanied the questionnaire. A self-
addressed postage paid envelope was included with the questionnaire
and cover letter. It was not possible for the respondents in Canada
to use the postage paid envelope.
Pre-test
A pre-test sampling was conducted prior to the total sample
population mailing. The pre-test which included forty-nine questions
was conducted for three reasons: (1) to test the validity of the
questions; (2) to seek input from the respondents; and (3) to deter-
mine what rate of return might be expected. This pre-test was con-
ducted in the spring of 1974 and involved eleven institutions. The
pre-test was limited to the state of Michigan. Nine of the pre-
tests were completed and returned. This response was encouraging
because the spring months are normally the busiest period at these
institutions (winter cleanup and preparation for the new visitor
season). In addition, several respondents made comments and sug-
gestions on how to improve the questionnaire. These suggestions
14
were taken into consideration when preparing the final four page
questionnaire.
Sample Population
A sample population had to be established for this study so
that the data analyzed would be meaningful and the correct number of
questionnaires could be printed. A number of membership lists that
were cited in the literature review in Chapter I could have been
used. The list in the Directory of American Horticulture was chosen
because it was the most recent (1974), the most comprehensive, and
because it furnished a list by state and province. In most cases,
this list also included the name of the director or principal offi-
cer in charge of the institution.
The state and province list in the Directory of American
Horticulture did present one problem. A number of institutions were
included which according to their titles did not appear to fit the
classification of either a botanical garden or arboretum as defined
in this study. However, a brief description included in the listing
suggested that the institution met the criteria established for a
related institution. It was felt that to eliminate an institution
on the list would indicate pre-judgment on the part of the researcher
as to what the sample population should be for this study. Thus, it
was deemed appropriate to include all institutions listed, except
for associations and horticultural societies. Garden centers were
included because many were described as offering workshops, exhibits,
classes, lectures or maintaining gardens. It may have been an error
15
to include garden centers because the majority of this group failed
to respond to the questionnaire (see data return response, Chapter
III). It may be argued that horticultural societies should have been
included in the study. At least one large midwestern horticultural
society (Chicago Horticultural Society) is the parent organization of
a botanic garden but also conducts other urban horticultural pro-
grams. In this instance, a questionnaire was sent to the botanical
garden but not to the parent organization.
A final check in completing the population sample was made
by comparing the list used from the Directory of American Horti-
culture against the membership listing for the American Association
of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta, Inc. This comparison added 33
institutions to the list for a total of 299 institutions plus the
2 institutions mentioned on page 9 of this study. The total sample
population included 301 institutions.
A number was assigned to each institution on the lists
taken from the Directory of American Horticulture and the AA§§A_
Membership List. Each questionnaire, prior to mailing, was numbered
in the upper right-hand corner of the questionnaire to correspond to
the same number assigned to the institution on the Directory of
American Horticulture and AABGA Membership List. Likewise, each
return envelope had the same number printed in the lower left-hand
corner. As each envelope was returned to the researcher, the date
it was received was noted on the directory list and the number for
that institution was circled. This procedure made it easy to tabu-
late a list of unreturned questionnaires at all times.
16
The costs incurred for preparing the questionnaire and mail-
ing them were borne by the researcher. The mailing was done in
September, 1974. A follow-up mailing should have taken place as
early as October, but the costs involved made it impossible to do
this. A tabulation of the unreturned questionnaires was made in
December of 1974. At that time 111 questionnaires had not been
returned.
A reminder postcard was mailed to these 111 institutions on
December 30, 1974 (Appendix A-3). A number of requests were
received for another copy of the questionnaire. The duplicate
questionnaires were mailed out to those respondents requesting them
because the final coding program was still being formulated and
there was enough time to receive the duplicate questionnaires before
the information was transferred to the summary sheets and then pro-
cessed onto computer cards.
Many institutions enclosed brochures relating to their
organizations along with the completed questionnaires. These
brochures included information on programs that were currently
being offered in 1974. Comments and suggestions were also received.
This information was both interesting and helpful in analyzing the
data for this study and was greatly appreciated by the researcher.
CHAPTER III
ANALYSIS OF THE GENERAL RESEARCH DATA
The data generated from the questionnaire that was mailed
to the sample population of 301 institutions form the basis for
this analysis.
Data Return Response
The questionnaires were mailed out to the institutions
included in this study on September 11, 1974. The questionnaires
were returned to the researcher during the period from September 14,
1974 through February 14, 1975. An analysis of the returns showed
that four institutions had been duplicated due to the institution
having more than one official name. Sixteen institutions did not
complete the questionnaire but either returned it to the researcher
or enclosed a letter in the return envelope stating why they had
not completed the questionnaire. This figure includes four ques-
tionnaires that were returned by the post office as undeliverable
because of incorrect addresses. The return response of valid
questionnaires is 69.8% of the total sample population when the
twenty institutions referred to above are removed from the sample.
It is also questionable whether eleven garden centers should have
been included in the sample. The number of valid responses repre-
sents 72.6% of the total sample provided the eleven garden centers
17
18
are removed from the study. The adjusted population sample repre-
sents 258 institutions in the United States and 12 institutions in
Canada. The return response for the United States was 185 out of a
possible 258 responses or 71.7% of the total. There were eleven
out of twelve returns for Canada which resulted in a 91.7% return
response.
Analysis Procedure
The questionnaire data were converted from alpha-numeric to
numeric values through the use of the questionnaire codebook
(Appendix A-4). The information was transferred to computer labora-
tory coding forms (summary sheets) and then keypunched to data
cards. Each of the 196 respondents was represented by two data
cards. All "no response" and "not applicable" replies were treated
as missing values and assigned the value zero (0).
The computer system program used for this study was SPSS
(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). A frequency count
was used to assess the data that are discussed in this chapter.
Analysis of the General Data
The analysis deals with the number of valid respondents
(196 institutions) and not the total sample population of 301 insti-
tutions. In this study all subsequent references that are made to
the total sample population will pertain to the 196 respondents.
Percentages will not always equal 100% as the values used in the
tables are given as calculated on the computer printout.
l9
MAE
This variable classifies the institutions by state or
province. Those states not represented either lack known institu-
tions or those institutions failed to respond to this survey. Ten
states are not included; however, the Virgin Islands are included in
the study. The five states with the largest number of institutions
are: California (23); New York (16); Pennsylvania (16); Michigan (8);
and Ohio (8). Ontario led the Canadian provinces with five institu-
tions or 45.5% of all the institutions in Canada. Table 1 shows a
complete classification for those states and provinces represented
in the study. The United States institutions represent 94.4% of the
total sample. The geographical distribution of the institutions is
illustrated in Appendix C, Figure 1.
RADIAL
The continental United States was divided into six geo-
graphical regions similar to the regions shown in Map I in Ihg_
Prospective Role of an Arboretum. Hawaii and the Virgin Islands
were treated as distinct regions separate from the conterminous
United States. Each province of Canada was considered a separate
region (Table 2). Region 1 in the United States is the smallest
in land area but contains the largest number of institutions (33.5%).
The regions are shown in Figures 1 and 3, Appendix C. Each institu—
tion is represented by the number assigned to that institution in
Appendix A-l.

SMSA-CMA
The institutions located in urban area, i.e., SMSA for the
united States and SMA for Canada, are considered here. The twelve
largest SMSA's represented in Table 3, have fifty-two institutions
(28.1%) of all United States institutions. The number of institu-
tions located in all population centers classified as SMSA's is more
- significant. One hundred fifty-five institutions (83.8%) are located
in these urban areas. The SMSA's of the United States are delineated
in Figure 1 of Appendix C. The institutions inside the boundaries of
all SMSA's are considered urban institutions. Based on current pro-
jections, by the year 2000 A.D., most of the institutions in the
United States will be situated in urban environments and only seven-
teen currently existing institutions or 9.2% of the total will remain
in rural areas (Figure 2, Appendix C).

Type of Institution
Each respondent was asked to indicate the type of organiza-
tion with which he or she was affiliated. The United States has
eight organization types while Canada has three types (Table 5).
Park Systems
The question was asked whether the institution was part of a
larger park system. The response indicated that fifty-seven (31.1%)
of the United States institutions were a part of a larger park
system. The institutions that are independent entities totaled 126

Membership Organization Data
It is customary for many organizations to have an ancillary
membership body that supports the institution. There are eighty-one
responding institutions in the United States that have membership
groups (45.0% of the total) and three more are proposing membership
organizations in the near future. Five institutions (2.7% of the
sample) did not respond to the question. Table 7 gives the size of
the institution membership organizations. The two largest institu4
tions on this table are somewhat atypical and merit further descrip-
tion. The Georgia Federation of Garden Clubs represents a garden
club membership of 21,000 members while the Woodlawn Plantation, is
part of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, an organization
that has 50,000 members.
Institutions with membership organizations were asked if
they charged a fee for membership. The response indicated that

The membership rates for the institutions varied from $1.00
to $25.00 annually. Fourteen institutions gave more than one rate
so a value labeled "various" was necessary for keypunching this
datum. The objective was to obtain the dues rate per individual
member only, but the question did not ask for this category
explicitly. The dues rate data represent seventy-eight respon-
dents.

Entrance Fee
The institutions were asked whether they charged an entrance
fee. In some cases, a fee is charged on Sundays in an attempt to
encourage visitation at other times of the week or for parking facili-
ties. Supposedly, a fee evens out the number of visitors to the
institution and prevents overcrowding. However, the majority of
institutions are free to the general public and only forty-seven in
the United States charge an entry fee (26.7% of the sample). Two
respondents are proposing entrance fees to the general public (1.1%
of the sample). Even so, 72.2% of all United States institutions
remain free to the public. There were nine no responses (4.9%) for
this variable.
Eight Canadian institutions (72.2%) are free to the general
public and no respondent is proposing an entry fee.
The range in entrance fee for United States and Canadian
institutions is varied:

Research programs and other programs often require a reference
library. Sometimes a special library is a part of the institution
and its volumes are available for public use. The majority of institu-
tions have special libraries of modest size (Table 26). The data do
not include those institutions affiliated with major universities
where the books on plant materials are part of the centralized library.

The programs and activities of the institutions in this study
are numerous and varied. The tables illustrate the scope and extent
of these programs and activities. The programs can be classified
into two groups: (1) those developed for the general public directly,
i.e., special courses and facilities, and (2) those related to the
scientific community, i.e., research, plant exploration, evaluation
and exchange. The second group is indirectly related to the first
because the research will ultimately benefit the general public.
Institution Growth
The second objective of this study was to determine the growth
of the institutions in the United States and Canada. Growth includes
the increase in the number of institutions and where this growth is
occurring by geographic region. Two variables were developed to
determine institution growth. Each institution was asked to supply
the dates established and opened to the general public. The date
established is not synonymous with the date opened to the general
public in all cases because the institution may have been in private
ownership and thereby closed to the general public for a number of
years. Fourteen of the 185 institutions in the United States did not
give the date of establishment and twelve failed to report the date
opened to the general public. The no response categories represent
7.6% and 6.5% respectively of the United States sample. Four institu-
tions, included in the no response group of twelve, stated that they
are not presently open to the general public. St. George Village
Botanical Garden of St. Croix, Inc. in the Virgin Islands, is one of
56
the four institutions because it is still in the process of being
developed. All but one Canadian respondent furnished the dates
established and open to the general public.
The data were recoded into groups to make it easier to
analyze. Several institutions were established prior to the founding
of the countries in which they are located (Tables 30 and 32).
The greatest period of growth in the United States occurred from
1961-1970 (22.2%). The trend in establishing new institutions
appears to be on the decline with the period from 1971-1974 comprising
4.3% of the total. The greatest number of institutions opened to the
general public occurred during the period from 1961-1970 (24.3%) as
shown in Table 31. The Canadian figures show that the number of new
institutions has declined slightly from earlier periods (1851-1900;
1911-1950). The greatest number of institutions opened to the general
public has occurred from 1971-1974 (27.3%) as shown in Table 33.
The number of new institutions would appear to be on the
decline in both countries. Likewise, the number of institutions
Opened to the general public has reached its zenith. Only four insti-
tutions remained closed to the public in the United States and none in
Canada.
The greatest concentration of growth in the United States for
the period 1971-1974 has occurred in the Pacific Region (25.0%). The
South led the new institution growth for the period from 1961-1970
(37.9%). Tables 34—37, Appendix C, show the institution dates
established and opened to the public in graph form by region.
57
The number of new institutions reached a high point earlier
in this century in both the United States and Canada. The decline
in new institutions in the United States is rather significant when
compared to the period of the greatest number of new institutions
being founded (1961-1970). The decline could change if there is a
substantial number of new institutions founded later in this decade
because the figure represented now is for 1971-1974 only. The
largest number of institutions opened to the public has occurred
within the last fourteen years in both the United States and Canada.
Function
Earlier in this study several definitions were given for the
terms botanical garden, arboretum, and related institution. A question
was devised relating to function that enabled the respondent to choose
any one of four functions which best fit the respondent's institution.
The "other" category was provided in addition to the four functions
listed. Objective 3 of this study was to show that the institutions
perform similar functions regardless of name and that it is difficult
to differentiate institution function. It is interesting to note
that only ninety-eight United States institutions (54.2%) felt that
these four functions applied to them. The other eighty-three (45.8%)
felt they were a combination of the four functions given or were a
totally different function. The results were twenty-nine values that
are represented in Table 28. Six Canadian institutions were classi-
fied under these four functions but five felt they were a combination
of these functions (Table 27).

The difference in function appears to be slight for the
majority of institutions. The added values are simply combinations
of one or more functions that were already included on the question-
naire. An analysis of function by type of institution gives an idea
as to the type of institution that classified itself under each
function (Table 38-39, Appendix D). To prove that many institutions
deal in similar programs, the institutions were categorized according
to their involvement in plant exploration, plant evaluation and plant
exchange programs (Table 40-41, Appendix 0). These programs are con-
ducted at institutions which list themselves as recreational,
historical, cultural and zoological as well as those which are pri-
marily an arboretum, botanical garden or horticultural garden.
It appears that the terms arboretum and botanical garden are
somewhat nebulous. Although 33.7% of the United States respondents
and 45.4% of the Canadian respondents classify themselvesthis way, a

large number of the sample populations in the United States and Canada
evidently feel they do not fit those terms. In a few cases, the
institutions include the word arboretum or botanical garden in their
name, yet classify themselves as a horticultural garden. The terms
arboretum and botanical garden apply to the plant collections found at
these institutions and the terms are not relevant when used to define
the programs of these institutions. The reason is the programs dis-
cussed here deal primarily with people rather than plants.
Data on Institution Administrators
The last objective of this study was to gather data on the
academic training and experience of those who direct the overall
operations of these institutions. The respondents were asked three
questions that related to their training and experience: formal educa-
tion, field of training and the number of years they have been
administrators.
The number of years of experience for administrators in this
field proved to be varied. Almost half of the respondents (47.8%)
have five years or less experience in this field. Each age group is
fairly well represented (Table 29). In Canada, the distribution is
more even and all respondents completed this question (Table 29).
The academic training of the institution administrators is not
limited to the plant sciences, although 77.4% of the 146 United States
respondents and 57.1% of the seven Canadian respondents took their
degrees in the plant sciences (Table 29). In several cases, more than
one field of study was marked on the questionnaire. It was impossible
to determine which field was the last in the academic sequence of

training. There was no way to code these responses so it was neces-
sary to place them in the no response category. This study was not
refined to the point where it could reflect this type of data, even
though it was realized that a respondent can take his academic train-
ing in more than one field of study.
The question that related to the respondent's degree should
have been developed in more detail. It was poor judgment on the part
of the researcher to assume that all respondents had university
degrees. The question was not designed intentionally to exclude any-
one but the way it was worded on the questionnaire may have affected
the results. It was rewarding to note that fifteen respondents did
mention their level of education, even though it varied from the
values listed. There were twenty-eight missing values (15.1%) for the
United States sample. The Canadian respondents are included in every
category with the greatest number of respondents in the Ph.D. cate-
gory (27.3%). All Canadian respondents answered the question. Data
on the degree taken and the field of study are presented in Tables
42-43. The data for the United States respondents are highly
significant (chi square = 0.0).
The questionnaire concluded with a line for the respondent's
signature and title. It was felt that this was the only way to
determine whether the questionnaire actually reached the administrator
or whether it was completed by a staff member. In most cases, the
questionnaire was completed by the director or a key administrator of
the institution. A total of 176 United States respondents (95.7%)
signed the questionnaire. All returned questionnaires from Canada were
signed.
CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION
This study has examined in detail the programs and activities
that are being conducted at botanical gardens, arboreta and related
institutions in the United States and Canada. It is apparent that
the programs vary as greatly as do the institutions that offer them.
Programs and activities are not limited to any specific age group.
There are children's gardens for the young, nature studies and
special courses for high school and college students and special
courses, clinics, workshops and exhibits for adults. Demonstration
gardens are being developed to help home owners select plant
materials that will enhance the appearance of their property.
Special gardens have been designed for the blind, using fragrant
flowers and other aromatic plants. Therapeutic greenhouses have been
incorporated into the physical facilities of many institutions.
Special walks or ramps enable the handicapped to visit the institu-
tions without having to overcome physical barriers imposed by steps,
narrow walks and door handles too difficult to reach.
The list of special courses given in Appendix B that are
being offered now or will be offered in the near future indicate the
importance of these programs to the institutions offering them. The
number of courses continue to increase and diversify. By no means
63
64
are the special courses limited to the study of plant materials
alone.
It is unfortunate that better attendance records are not
available from the institutions. Institutions should maintain
enrollment information to provide historical data for implementing
new programs and courses. Revisions of present programs also require
judgments that can only be made from past performances. Institutions
retain dynamic programs only by evaluating their programs on a
periodic basis.
This study should not give the impression that the institu-
tions are merely places for learning about plants vis-a-vis special
courses. Education is an integral part of the institution's purpose
but so are research, publications and recreation.
Perhaps the majority of visitors view their visit as a
recreational experience. This experience in turn may induce the
visitor to enroll in a special course or purchase a book on shrubs.
Most visitors probably receive a passive recreational experience
from their visit to the institutions. They walk through the grounds
and admire the forms of the trees and shrubs and those plants in
bloom at that particular time. The visitors who stroll through the
conservatory delight in viewing the exotic tropicals with their
brilliant flowers and unusual foliage. Often visitors who were
strangers minutes before will become engaged in a lively conversation
about an exotic that they are admiring and thus develop a common bond.
The institutions are botanic gardens, arboreta and related
institutions because they label the many species of plant materials
65
that are grown in the confines of the institution's grounds for the
benefit of the visitors. Many a visitor sees only a tree and does
not care that the plants have labels. The plant labels are placed
near the plant for those who are interested and desire knowledge
about the plant materials. Donald Hyman considers labelling to be
one of the distinguishing characteristics of these institutions. The
institutions are laboratories of living plant materials as well as
recreation areas.
The majority of institutions are free to the general public.
If there is an entrance charge it is nominal compared to many of the
admissions to other recreational activities. The goals of the insti-
tution's have been segregated into four main categories or combina-
tions of these categories. Profit is secondary to knowledge,
recreation and research.
Four objectives were outlined in this study. All four have
been shown to be interrelated to and dependent upon each other. In
addition, the general data serves to give a more complete picture
of the institutions that have been studied. The tables and programs
described here help to create a part of the total picture but the
picture is still a one-sided view. The other side to the institu-
tion concerns the plant materials grown there or the botanical
function of the institution. This study deals exclusively with the
social functions of the institution and no attempt has been made
here to examine the botanical endeavors in which the institutions
are engaged.
66
The institution growth rate can only be conjectured. However,
the importance of the institutions in the future is evident. Accord-
ing to the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future,
Trend projections indicate that urban regions will contain
74 percent of the United States population in 1980, and
about 83 percent of the total by the end of the century,
while the land area covered in the conterminous United
States expanded from two percent in 1920 to about 16 percent
in 2000. In other words, five-sixths of our population will
be living within one-sixth of our land area, at the end of
this century.1
This is only a projection but it emphasizes the fact that urban areas
will contain approximately 90.8% of the United States institutions
and 81.8% of the Canadian institutions by the year 2000. The
institutions will be "green islands" located within highly urbanized
settings. They will continue to face the challenge of providing
dynamic programs that will benefit the general public. At the same
time public involvement on the part of the institutions should
result in a greater amount of public support for the institutions.
This study of the programs and activities of arboreta, botanical
gardens and related institutions leads to the conclusion that these
institutions have perceived their role in society and are prepared to
meet the challenges of the future. A better definition of the terms
arboretum, botanical garden, nature center and horticultural garden
should be undertaken. These terms are used freely by people in this
field as well as by the general public and little thought is given

Future, Population Distribution and Policy, Sara Mills Mazie, ed.,

67
to their meanings. A thorough study of the structure of the institu-
tion based on its social endeavors and plant collections could give
clarity to these terms that are used so often, yet poorly understood.
In addition, the research programs that are presently being
conducted should be reviewed. An inventory of plant materials should
be developed for the institutions. The AABGA and the American
Horticultural Society have taken positive action in this direction
within the last few years. Studies should be done on the training of
employees at these institutions. More research is required on plant
labelling and visual identification at the institutions. Visitor
data is needed to determine why the visitor is motivated to make
repeat visits to the institution. Some of the areas requiring more
research are horticultural in nature while others are sociological;
both are equally important. It is hoped that through research we
can better understand the importance and meaning of the institutions
called botanic gardens and arboreta.

NATURAL RESOURCES BUILDING
Dear Director:
The enclosed questionnaire has been sent to you to aid in a study
of educational programs and activities being conducted at botanical gar-
dens and arboreta in the United States and Canada. This questionnaire
has been prepared by Mr. Marvin Ellenbecker, a graduate student in this
department. Mr. Ellenbecker earned his 8.8. degree in horticulture at
the University of Wisconsln—Madison.
This research will form the basis for this student's thesis work
for the Master of Science. Mr. Ellenbecker is a member of the American
Horticultural Society and the American Association of Botanical Gardens
and Arboreta and plans a career in the area of botanical garden or arbor—
etum administration.
At this time the department is unable to give full financial assis-
tance toward the costs of this questionnaire and these costs are being
paid for by Mr. Ellenbecker. However, the possibility of publishing the
results is being considered as a future effort.
We would appreciate your help in supporting Mr. Ellenbecker's research
in this area. Your participation will insure meaningful results. Please
complete the four-page questionnaire and return it in the stamped self-
addressed envelope.
Res ctfully yours,
Pat D. Tayl r
