San Mateo Arboretum Society
SMAS is a “member and volunteer powered” organization dedicated to the preservation of San Mateo’s rich horticultural heritage.
The San Mateo Arboretum Society (SMAS) was founded in 1974, by Peninsula resident and garden enthusiast, Marion Panaretos. Because of her own love of gardens, Mrs. Panaretos recognized the importance of protecting the botanical aspects of San Mateo’s Central Park, adjacent to downtown San Mateo, and also the historic Kohl Pumphouse. Today, SMAS continues as a “member and volunteer powered” organization dedicated to the preservation of San Mateo’s rich horticultural heritage. Our headquarters and most of our activities are focused around the Kohl Pump House area in Central Park.
