On her way to becoming a botanical illustrator, Christy Dewees developed a special bond with the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden that years later would lead her and her husband to create the Christine and Christopher Dewees Learning by Leading™ Fund.
Long-term supporters of UC Davis, Phyllis and Alex McCalla, have pledged an estate gift to create the “Phyllis and Alex McCalla Arboretum Fund” to support future projects and improvements in the Arboretum and Public Garden.
