City Park contains over 3000 trees representing hundreds of dif ferent species. On this Plant Walk you will explore the arboretum collectio ns, guided by Ben Rickenbacker, a Forestry Operations Supervisor and ISA Ce rtified Arborist with the City Forester’s office. You’ll see various botani cal collections, state champion listed trees, gardens and other sites of ho rticultural interest along the walk.
One tree of special note is the Shakespeare Elm that was planted in 1916. It came from a cutting of the Wych Elm from Shakespeare’s gravesite at the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. Over the last century, the tree has managed to survive both heedless teenagers and the bouts of Dutch elm disease that have felled many of its contemporaries, and it now stands as a n unlikely legacy of the world’s greatest poet.
Don’t miss this

trees.
