We have visited Holden Arboretum, near Cleveland, OH, on
9/14/2013 and on
8/24/2014. This time, however, we were admitted for free with our Tyler Arboretum membership cards!
 |
| We took Gus, here in the back seat of the car |
 |
| It was nearly noon |
 |
| Not sure why there are steps down to the stream |
 |
| Habitat Hut, for kids |
 |
| We followed the Woodland Trail |
 |
The Woodland Trail takes you out,
then back in through the deer fence |
 |
| A wooden bridge over a fairly deep gully |
 |
Which came first, the burl
or the crook in the tree? |
 |
| The Acer sp/Maple leaves have fallen |
 |
These are likely the tall Liriodendron tulipifera/
Tuliptrees, still with colorful leaves |
 |
| View across Buttonbush Bog |
 |
| Owl Bog |
 |
A section of the Murch Canopy Walk
(2015) allows you to walk among the
tree tops at 65-feet above the ground |
 |
Kalberer Family Emergent Tower (2015) at
120-feet tall, is not connected to the Canopy Walk |
Both the Canopy Walk and Emergent Tower are "closed for the winter."
 |
| Gazebo at the Ellen & Allen Daus Memorial Overlook |
 |
| A fallen tree and many trees block the view from the overlook |
 |
| Gus had to check out these roofed stumps |
 |
Stickwork: Tilt-a-Whirl (2020, by Patrick Dougherty) is
a woven willow sculpture that is meant to naturally
deteriorate over time and return to nature |
 |
| Enter and explore the maze-like Stickwork |
 |
| View across Blueberry Pond |
 |
| Ilex verticillata 'Winter Red'/Winterberry |
 |
| Geranium 'Rozanne' |
 |
Taxodium distichum/Bald Cypress from green to
orange-brown, are deciduous and lose their needles |
 |
| Colorful Bald Cypress |
 |
Diospyros viginiana 'Meader'/Common
Persimmon still has a few fruit hanging |
 |
| Tricyrtis hirta/Hairy Toad Lily |
In the neighborhood, The Herb Society of America is headquartered in Kirtland, OH.
 |
The Herb Socierty of America is housed in
the Vineyard House (1841, built with local stone) |
 |
| It's not really herb season in November! |
 |
| View of the rear of Vineyard House |
 |
| Looks like a disjointed pine tree |
 |
| Curved planting beds |
 |
Did I finally find some fall color?
|
We have new mobile phones and the camera produces weird colors, especially of the sky... sorry!
