Inspired by this year’s History Center Exhibit titled From Architecture to Beauty, The Dawes Arboretum will be hosting a four-part virtual series featuring Ohio historic landscapes and gardens, their designers, American landscape movements and historic land restorations. In addition to The Dawes Arboretum, this series will feature presentations from Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens, Adena Mansion & Gardens, and Kingwood Center Gardens. This series will occur once per month from August through November and is free of charge, but registration is required. Once you register for one program, you will automatically be registered for all programs in the series.

Celebrating 70 years as a public garden, Kingwood Center Gardens has grown significantly and has become renowned for horticultural excellence, historical significance, and community engagement. Discover this historic Country Place era estate of Mr. Charles Kelley King, former executive of the Ohio Brass Company in Mansfield, and learn about current restoration plans for the formal gardens.

This event series was funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Spark Grant.
