Covering 3,600 acres and home to over 120,000 plants, The Holden Arboretum is the largest arboretum in the United States. Specializing in woody trees and scrubs that can be grown in the climate of Northern Ohio, groundcovers and perennials accompany Holden’s wide variety of ligneous plants in themed collections throughout the grounds. Enjoy an array of seasonal activities in the gardens to explore and discover nature’s offerings.
Myriad butterflies add color to the already rainbow-infused surroundings of the Arlene and Arthur S. Holden Butterfly Garden. Take in the natural beauty of wildflowers in the Myrtle S. Holden Wildflower Garden or enjoy a tranquil hike along the Pierson Creek trails or in the Old Valley. The Holden Arboretum features a modern visitor’s center, an excellent reference library and a lovely picnic area to enjoy a romantic picnic for two.
