In addition, he will share stories of the people, architecture and culture.

In his 43 year tenure at the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, Paul Meyer played a major role in the restoration of the Arboretum’s historic gardens, architecture, and extraordinary plant collections, and rebuilt its financial foundations.
