A lovely gazebo overlooks a panorama of trees in the PKP Arboretum. The arboretum was established in 1987 and features identified trees that can be grown in the Augusta area. Many of the trees in the Arboretum were donated in honor or in memory of someone by organizations or individuals. An expanse of lawn was seeded to give the arboretum an Old English theme. Barbara Botts established the attractive gazebo overlooking the arboretum in memory of her husband, Bert Botts. Mr. Botts was a long time PKP Foundation member and was responsible for much of the early work in the park. The Pendleton King Park Foundation together with the City of Augusta have a working partnership that has repeatedly broken new ground in the advancement of urban forestry in Augusta.
