    What today is the Morris Arboretum began as Compton, the summer home and garden of John and Lydia Morris. Who were these founders whose vision and legacy has spanned 125 years? How does the Compton they created nurture our experience? Bob Gutowski, Director of Public Programs and our garden historian will share some images, stories, and insights of the people, place, and times that shaped the Arboretum of today.
