The Horticulture Science Center (HSC)

With more than 15,000 square feet of laboratory, office and greenhouse space, the HSC was completed in early 1994 to provide a modern research and greenhouse facility to meet the expanding needs of the organization.  Three computer-controlled greenhouses serve the many different climate needs of the plants that are propagated and grown for Holden collections and research.  Laboratories are configured for plant genetics, molecular ecology, biogeochemistry, and soil/plant analysis.

 

 

The David G. Leach Research Station

 

The Holden Arboretum’s David G. Leach Research Station is a satellite facility on a 30-acre property, 40 minutes northeast of the main Kirtland campus. David G. Leach, a world authority on the genus Rhododendron and a prodigious breeder for more than 50 years, developed the site as a rhododendron breeding and evaluation garden. The property and germplasm accumulated by Leach was transferred to Holden in 1986. The station is now under the leadership of Steve Krebs. For more information about the Leach Station and its research, please visit the Leach Station website.
