From Laura Deeter, Director of Chadwick Arboretum and Learning Gardens:
I met Rich as a horticulture student at Ohio State University. His knowledge about plants was stunning to my student mind; he seemed to know everything and could speak for hours about plants.
I have many fond memories of him working with students in the gardens, showing them how to do various tasks, gently guiding them through the learning process. If I heard that big, deep voice of his, I tried to find a way to listen in, knowing I was going to learn something.

From Dr. Laura Deeter, Director of Chadwick Arboretum & Learning Gardens:
A legacy rooted in a passion for plants, education, and people.
How do you honor someone whose impact is legendary? It’s hard for me to find appropriate words. But I will try to express some of what Steve Still meant to me (and probably many others) and the world of horticulture.

Musings from the Director: Spring 2024
It’s officially spring and the season is springing forth, though winter is still hanging around more than we would perhaps appreciate. We are all excited at the flowering occurring in the gardens. From the hellebores to the daffodils, the silver and red maples (seriously…go look at the complex beauty of their flowers) to the magnolias, which seemed to last all of 3 seconds this year. Spring is springing, birds are singing, squirrels are digging and we are planning!
