The founder’s original plans

Before this digital atlas existed, the arboretum was born from the pencil and ink of its founder, who drew by hand the first plans of each sector of the park: where each group of trees would go, how the trails would be laid out, and to what dimensions. These are those original sketches, preserved as part of the history of the place.
