点评:We had no idea there was such a beautiful arboretum just half an hour from Cleveland! We spent a few hours here, but you could easily spend a full day or more exploring.
We started in the Butterfly Garden located behind the Visitor Center and could have spent an hour or two there enjoying the plants and pollinators.
Other highlights for us included the 5-acre Wildflower Garden with hundreds of different native Ohio species. We also enjoyed the Canopy Walk and the views from the suspended bridges above the forest floor – we were a little early in the season for peak fall colors.
We got in our steps for the day walking the trails between the many beautiful gardens. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to explore the miles and miles of trails through the surrounding native forest.
For those who don’t want to or can’t walk that much, there are tram tours available.
翻译:我们没想到离克利夫兰仅半小时车程的地方竟然有这么美丽的植物园!我们在这里待了几个小时,但其实完全可以花上一整天甚至更长时间去探索。
我们从游客中心后面的蝴蝶园开始,本来可以在那里待上一两个小时,欣赏植物和传粉昆虫。
其他亮点还包括占地5英亩的野花园,里面种植了数百种不同的俄亥俄州本土物种。我们还喜欢树冠步道,以及从悬索桥上俯瞰森林地面的美景——我们去的时候还早,还没到欣赏秋叶最佳的季节。
我们沿着连接众多美丽花园的小径漫步,开始了一天的行程。可惜的是,我们没有时间探索穿过周围原生森林的绵延数英里的小径。
对于那些不想或不能走太多路的人,可以选择乘坐缆车游览。
