Statement of Purpose:
The Holden Arboretum's mission is to promote the knowledge and appreciation of plants for personal enjoyment, inspiration, and recreation; for scientific research; and for educational and aesthetic purposes:
-to develop and maintain documented collections of woody plants and other botanic specimens appropriate to the climatic zone of northeast Ohio;
-to acquire, grow, and display plants, both ornamental and those of scientific interest, and to demonstrate horticultural principles;
-to study, manage, and conserve the natural environment, including flora and fauna, of The Holden Arboretum lands; and
-to engage in horticultural research and in educational and public service activities that will enable others to make use of the knowledge acquired.
Highlights & Collections:
Visitors can experience the beauty of the display gardens, the horticultural collections, 20 miles of natural trails, wildflower exploration, bird watching and
nature photography. Trails range from short walks to rugged hikes, inviting visitors
to explore the gardens, woods and lakes of this scenic wonderland. During the
month of March, the educational sugarbush demonstrates to visitors how maple
syrup is made. Fall colors make hiking natural trails a magnificent experience.
Winter splendor adds a special touch to the hiking experience.
