The Morton Arboretum celebrated 100 years of planting and protecting trees for a greener, healthier, and more beautiful world.
Over the past century, the Arboretum has made a significant impact for trees and people—studying, planting, and protecting trees; educating people; and welcoming millions of guests to its living tree and plant collections and its glorious landscapes. As it enters its second century, it is still growing strong, like a mighty oak, at a time when people need trees more than ever before. To commemorate this milestone, the Arboretum developed a beautiful new garden and planted more than 3,000 trees throughout the Chicago region.
