“I wish that all the children of the present day, as well as their fathers and mothers,
could have some place to go where they could sit quietly and enjoy nature,
or where they could romp about and play on the grass, or go in wading or swimming;
a place where they could become acquainted with the shapes of all the leaves
and their habits of growth; with the perfume of the linden and lilac,
with the songs of the thrushes and cat-birds, with the motions of the chipmunk,
and, in short, all the charms of the country.”
Ossian Cole Simonds, Arboretum's Landscape Gardener, 1909
