- catalog description "The living collection of the Arboretum was to include representatives of all woody plants that would grow in the Boston area. The arrangement and design of these collections was collaboration between Frederick Law Olmsted and Charles Sprague Sargent, the first director of the Arboretum. The Arboretum was intended to function as a pleasure ground for the citizens of Boston and as an encyclopedic tree museum for scientists. In their design, Sargent and Olmsted were in agreement that they had both scientific and aesthetic goals. Together they created a design based on a botanical sequence devised by George Bentham and Joseph Hooker displayed in a naturalistic fashion. The Arnold Arboretum is the only extant arboretum designed by Olmsted.".
