What should I see in a trip to Ohio?

[penumbra]

At some point this summer I plan on a trip to Ohio. I have been wanting to visit Serpent Mound for decades, so I am planning a visit while I still can. Do any of you from Ohio, or those who are familiar with the state have any suggestions for nurseries, bonsai exhibits etc?

Don’t know how far north you are going (Cleveland area). Holden Arboretum. It’s probably 3-4 hours from serpent mound. Falls run bonsai…..me. I’m close to the border.

I've been to a bonsai nursery in Toledo but, I can't recommend it. So, no Bonsai locations from me but, Hocking Hills is a pretty cool State Park if you have the time.

Hocking Hills State Park

Located in Southeastern Ohio, Hocking Hills State Park is a national and internationally acclaimed State Park. Stunning in every season, Hocking Hills features beautiful towering cliffs, thrilling waterfalls, and deep, hemlock-shaded gorges.

It's not to far from Serpent Mound.

It could very well happen my friend.

Sounds like a great place to spend a couple of days.

ME- come and visit! and I'm close to the Hocking hills... it's wonderful if you like to hike, but can be crowded in the summer sometimes. When are you planning on being in the state?

Hocking Hills is awesome. If you get up to the Sandusky area, there's an interesting little nursery/greenhouse (Mulberry Creek Herb Farm) that has some a selection of starter material. Unusual varieties, mostly tropical. I spend an hour or so there every time I'm in the area -- and actually headed there today. I can't vouch for @JudyB but she seems nice!

"The Flower Market" in dundee, michigan, about a half hour north of toledo is a big bonsai nursery and well worth a visit if you're willing to travel further north

Ditto. I'm about 15 minutes away from "The Flower Market"

What Judy said. I live not too far from her, Hocking Hills is pretty fantastic. We camp down there every year in the fall. Not only that, but if you get a chance to see her trees and set-up up close and personal, it’s pretty impressive

Sounds like trouble to me....

Take good notes Penumbra. I think we're heading to Hocking Hills this summer.

I've been to every one there is, let me know if there is anything I can point you at. Would welcome you to visit if you'd be interested as well!

I give some suggestions when I have more time. If you are talking the Newark Earthworks/mounds I'm an hour East. Dawes Arboretum is Just South on SR13 half hr. with a great Japanese Garden. Bonsai Show in August I think.
