One of the most beloved places in the garden this summer - by children and adults alike! - is the blown glass installation from The Glass Asylum in the Terrace reflecting pool. Our gardeners have even seen frogs on the lily pads in the cool mornings, and dragonflies love to fly above and through the art throughout the day. Have you seen it yet? It’s super cool!

We got a sneak peak of the BRAND NEW Ron and Lydia Harrington Perennial Playspace at the Cleveland Botanical Garden.

This space is amazing! It does such a great job intermingling creative play with education.

This new play space will easily add an hour+ to your normal botanical garden visit.

My kids’ favorite parts were climbing the life size honeycomb, using the drawing pads to recreate the art on the walls, and making their own music.

There’s a lot to discover in this new space and it officially opens to the public tomorrow (March 19th) at 10 am!

Tag a few friends who would go totally crazy over this new play space! 😍

What a wonderful way to welcome spring! Once again this year, the generous staff at Cleveland Botanical Garden donated plants from their recent show, “Orchids Forever,” to our patients and their families. We delivered the orchids to our Medina Hospice Inpatient Unit, Ames Family Hospice House and David Simpson Hospice House. A few family members were present when we entered one of our facilities. They were in awe of the tall, colorful orchids, each more vibrant than the next. We’re incredibly grateful for this gift of stunning natural beauty. Thank you!
