WILD FLOWER GARDEN, Cleveland, O. 
Under care of the Shaker Lakes and Cleveland Garden Clubs; 
Mrs. G. H. Gardner, Chairman of Wild Flower Committee for Shaker 
Lakes Club. 
Location — Bounded by Coventry Road, North Park Blvd., South Park 
Blvd. and Lower Shaker Lake. 
Type— A wild flower preserve. 
Best Bloom — Spring. 
Specialty — Not developed enough yet to be able to say. 
Visiting days and hours — A caretaker will be there all through the 
day. 
Remarks — This is a very new undertaking, in fact only the funda- 
mental, preliminary work has been done. It is being de- 
veloped in the City Park System by the City of Cleveland Park 
Department. Most of the work so far has been under the di- 
rection of the City Forester. The two Garden Clubs are using 
all their influence to interest Cleveland people and to make 
this in time a beautiful spot and one where all the Native Flora 
may be studied by everyone who is interested. It is a memo- 
rial garden to the Shakers, whose mill stood on this spot fifty 
years and whose farms surrounded this garden. 
THE SHAKESPEARE GARDEN, Cleveland, O. 
Location — Upper East Blvd., between Sperior and St. Clair Streets. 
Specialty — The flowers mentioned in Shakespeare’s works. 
Visiting days and hours — All days and all hours. 
Remarks — The garden was largely the idea of Mr. Leo. Weidenthal, 
a Cleveland editor. In it are planted many trees by 
famous dramatists, poets and actors, as Julia IVIarlowe, E. A. 
Sothern, Beerbohm Tree, Otis Skinner. iMantell gave a lovely 
sundial. There are roses from Juliette’s grave and a mulberry 
tree from the historic inn, “At the Sign of the Mulberry”; 
Yeates, the Irish Dramatist, also planted a tree. It is very 
interesting — well worth a visit.
