The Serene Hummingbird Garden Near Cleveland That’s Too Beautiful For Words

There is nothing that truly compares to the enchanted feeling after a fresh summer rain. With the golden sun warming their leaves, flora glows brilliantly here in the knolls and valleys of Northeast Ohio. If you're a resident here, then you know exactly what I'm describing. That magic is, if you can imagine, truly enhanced when you're immersed in a garden that provides a haven for butterflies and hummingbirds alike.

I'd like to introduce you to the gorgeous grounds of the Secrest Arboretum.

This gorgeous 110-acre haven is hidden in the sleepy limits of Wooster, just an hour's drive away from Cleveland.

Though it is really an outdoor laboratory, the Secrest Arboretum is truly one giant garden with a variety of themes.

From Gayle's Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden to the Ohio Native Prairie, this landscape is an Eden to insects and birds.

Color and texture explode from the landscape, attracting visitors of all species in every season.

Discovery gardens are an outdoor paradise, hosting a variety of songbirds in Northeast Ohio's warmer months.

And hummingbirds, who usually hang around September, can't get enough of this lovely landscape.

During your visit, you must make time to visit the Buckeye Forest — it is straight out of a storybook.

And be sure to bring your camera and charge up your phone, because this landscape will feature many gorgeous moments you'll want to capture.

This one ginormous garden is open from dawn until dusk 365 days a year.

Oh, and well-behaved dogs can visit with you as long as they keep out of the water features.

Your summer is about to be filled with vibrancy after just one visit to this incredible arboretum.

The Secrest Arboretum is located at 1680 Madison Ave. in Wooster.

Ohio is beautiful and romantic, but locals and visitors alike remain unaware of many of its loveliest attractions. The opportunity to learn and discover daily is partially what makes life here so alluring.
