Geocache Description:

Located in Marshall Park / Dubuque Arboretum & Botanical Gardens

The Dubuque Arboretum and Botanical Gardens (52 acres) are an arboretum and botanical gardens established in 1980 and located at 3800 Arboretum Drive, Dubuque, Iowa. It is open without charge seven days a week from May 1 to October 31, and weekdays the remainder of the year.

The Gardens include the largest public hosta garden in the United States (13,000 plants representing over 700 varieties), as well as Annual and Perennial Gardens, several Children's gardens, an English Knot Garden and Formal English Garden, Herb Garden, Iowa State and All American Test Gardens, Japanese garden, and Rose Gardens. Also notable are the collections of unusual conifers and dwarf conifers.

Located in Marshall Park (a City park), you will also find picnic areas, playground areas, and is home to the "Battle Bows", an All Veterans' Memorial monument.

The cache is a tupperware container painted to blend in. Once opened, the cache's name will be understood. It was an especially fitting title after a very hard day of looking for other people's caches. Swapping is encouraged, I'd just request you leave the title pieces.

07/08/05 Update: Apparently I need to buy some better glue!! The title pieces were glued to the lid but apparently they fell off, into the cache box. Oh well...I guess they are fair game for swapping now.
