Immerse yourself amongst a beautiful plant group as you stroll through the Eliot and Linda Paine Rhododendron Discovery Garden.
This area hosts three separate vignettes that examine:
- Rhododendrons in their native habitat.
- The role Northeast Ohio has played in hybridization.
- The successful usage of rhododendrons in home landscapes.
Things to Discover
