Native Plant Synoptic Garden 90 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Being funded by such a large number of contributors is another major variable in determining a budget. Since the Washington Park Arboretum is a public park, everyone in the community as well as the state is essentially a stakeholder in the park, and as stakeholders have a vested interest in the types of projects that are planned and completed within the arboretum. For this reason, major plans can take years to implement; everyone involved, be it employees or stakeholders, must come to agreement on if, what, how, why, where, and when something should be done in the arboretum. Traditionally, feasibility of a particular project within a setting such as the Washington Park Arboretum depends on the availability of current funds and the probability of additional funding. The maintenance budget is dependent mainly on four major factors: time, rates of inflation, availability of funds, and the vested interests of stakeholders. Attracting and soliciting donations can be the key to the success of a project such as the Native Plant Synoptic Garden. Having highly trained gardeners and arborists is one way to ensure stakeholders that proper maintenance techniques are being utilized to achieve optimal levels of plant health and aesthetics; this is one example of how and why donations may be secured. Rising costs in part due to inflation, coupled with changing maintenance practices will ultimately determine the overall maintenance budget. To ensure long-term success of the Native Plant Synoptic Garden and Master Plan implementation, it may be essential to consult an economist. An economist can follow inflation rate trends and precisely calculate future costs, revenue, and interest from endowments and donations. “A certified economist is an invaluable resource for preparing and finalizing an accurate maintenance budget” (Young et la, 1990).
