Experiencing the cold, wet, winter that is Ohio, Dawes Arboretum stands as a beacon of hope and light for all tourists searching for nature amidst the ice, sleet, and snow. For this is an arboretum, of which resides many trees and shrubs indigenous to the respective area! Surely Dawes Arboretum will proclaim, "There is life in Ohio!"
For he that planteth a tree is a servant of God! (Henry van Dyke) Unfortunately, ol' Henry didn't specify that said tree should be both of a hardy sort and unspeakably beautiful year round. Alas, we poor unfortunate Winter tourists are not blessed to enjoy such amazing specimens as the Green Ash with it's golden hued leaves that would lighten up any tenebrous evening in chilly Ohio.
We give honor due, however, to whom honor is truly due: the planter of holly, whether it be tree or shrub.
And we give honor to the planter of many, many, er... many conifers such as the blue spruce for they are planted far and wide.
