WGLT's Grow: New Botanical Designation For ISU?

Trees outside Fell Hall at ISU
Illinois State University
Illinois State University’s Fell Arboretum was granted status in 1995 from the International Society of Arboriculture and consists of a 490-acre site established with thousands of trees representing over 154 species.";

The Fell Arboretum is Illinois State University most visible gardening asset. But there are others, and combined they could lead to a new "botanical garden" designation.

ISU's Patrick Murphy explains the designation to WGLT's Mike McCurdy during this episode of our gardening podcast Grow.
