Dawes Arboretum is a 1700 acre park on Rt. 13 in Jacksontown, Ohio, about 30 miles east of Columbus. The following photos were taken on a short walk and don't represent all that there is to see.

I found some White Star Magnolias

 

And the King Rose Magnolias

 

The darker Betty Magnolias haven't opened yet

It was quiet on this side of the farm pond

Here's the noisy windmill gang on the other side

No blossoms on the apple trees yet

There's plenty of daffodils around

I think I found some very early azaelas

The Red Sunset Maples have buds

 

It doesn't look much like Spring yet near the Japanese garden pond but next month the cherry trees will blossom
