“He who only England knows, knows England least”, said Rudyard Kipling. So, add some holiday spice to your Ohio plant loving by enjoying tales from…England and Scotland, Massachusetts, Ecuador, the worldwide web of Mary Maloney, and right here in Ohio at Granny Creek (Joe Cochran’s Arboretum in Knox County), and of course Secrest Arboretum. Even a few notes on the plants of China, from ornamental peaches to views from Badaling. Come having already enjoyed your lunch. We will have a light repast mid-program. An afternoon of opening-up to your world of plants.

Join The Voice Studio for a free community concert in the garden!  Enjoy the evening in a beautiful outdoor setting as singers from Wayne County and surrounding areas perform classical vocal solos from musical composers ranging from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to Richard Strauss.  Soloists will perform these Classical pieces in Italian, French, German, Latin & English. Rain or shine; performances are only cancelled in the event of severe weather.

Put on your walking shoes and join us for a guided adventure to the outer reaches of Secrest Arboretum. Paul will introduce you to the far corners and hidden treasures most visitors overlook. Golf carts will take us to the back forty, so space is limited. Register now; this is a tour you won't want to miss!

Join us for a walk through the arboretum to take in fall color and learn more about our gardens as experts point out seasonal highlights and resident pollinators.  Parking and admission are free. Dress for the weather.
