Information

The dominant trees growing here are adapted to periodic flooding from Fall Creek and include sycamore (pictured), sugar maple, white ash (pictured), bitternut hickory, and basswood. This section of the garden has an exceptionally rich composition of plants because it has been much less disturbed by human activity than other areas surrounding this woodland.
