Stanley M. Rowe Arboretum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stanley M. Rowe Arboretum (9 acres) is a nonprofit arboretum located at 4600 Muchmore Road, Indian Hill, Ohio. It is open daily without charge.
The arboretum was founded in 1926 by Stanley M. Rowe, Sr. and his wife Dorothy Snowden Rowe. Their first trees were red oaks, European larch, and white and Scotch pine. The Rowe property eventually expanded to 170 acres containing some 1,800 different species of trees and shrubs, with a focus on conifers. As most of the finest trees were in one area, it was given to the village as a parkland.
The American Horticultural Society, honoring Rowe in 1982 with an amateur citation for the arboretum, commended its "remarkable collection of conifers, crabapples, magnolias, oaks and beeches."
