Autumn at the Arboretum
An arboretum planted in West Park more than a century ago is still thriving, though it was quite literally forgotten for decades. No one remembered that it had been an arboretum, but no one had cut down the trees, either. Now the trees are labeled again, and the arboretum is a beautiful spot for a picnic in the summer or a leisurely stroll in the autumn.
