Surrounded by acres of farm, field, hedgerow, and woodland, Rhoneymeade Arboretum and Sculpture Garden straddles a high north-south ridge in the valley between Nittany and Tussey Mountains. Rhoneymeade, or Rhone’s Meadow, is a property named by the Grange Fair Founder Leonard Rhone in the 1860s, now open for public enjoyment. On a guided walking tour, view the intimate garden where a blossoming arboretum nurtures a variety of sculptures and learn the history holden to the land.

Instructor: James Lesher, a Penn State graduate with a B.S. in landscape architecture, has been devoted to managing and preserving Rhoneymeade for the public for more than 25 years.
