It’s a beautiful late summer day to welcome Ed to Holden Forests & Gardens. Ed spent the day meeting the team at the arboretum and ended the tour at the top of the Kalberer Emergent Tower to take in the best view in Northeast Ohio. He’ll be meeting the team at the botanical garden after the Labor Day weekend.
He arrives with more than two decades of experience as a public garden professional and a deep love of plants, trees and people. You can learn more about Ed here. We could not be more excited to have his expertise, talent and exceptional leadership to further unite the Botanical Garden and Arboretum and elevate the organization into one of the region’s and country’s most valuable assets.
We’re so happy you’re here, Ed!
