A Tribute to Veterans Day in Highland Park, Rochester NY
In the fall of 2013, Rochester local resident, horticulturist and forestry expert, Amy Priestley designed a set of four tours of the Highland Park Arboretum in celebration of this special park's 125th Anniversary. Each of the four followed a theme of discovery of science, nature and of place. The last tour on November 10th featured the newer additions to Highland Park both in land and in monuments. With the glory of past peak foliage on full display, this walk included a visit to the Greater Rochester Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This is a most special and hollowed space within all of Rochester and Monroe County. It is one of the most poignant, beautiful and informative memorials of any kind to be visited in the United States. So within the month that ends with a celebration of Thanksgiving, this event seemed especially appropriate as it served to honor Veterans Day as well.
Amy's company, Labor of Love Flower Farm, was one of several sponsors of the entire series of walks in honor of the 125th Anniversary of the Rochester and Monroe County' Park System. Each walk included a lesson on the natural history of one the nations most treasured Arboretums. The other sponsors included the Highland Park Neighborhood Association, Monroe County Parks, The Highland Park Conservancy and the City of Rochester.
This video was produced by Michael E Tomb, volunteer communications coordinator for the Highland Park Neighborhood Association and includes Amy's reading as well as pictures of the other residents and friends who came out on this windy, autumn day to walk, reflect and to pay tribute to those who serve.
Note: the video was designed in high definition so if you know how to set youtube to a better resolution, the video will be much crisper, especially on a larger screen. You will hear the wind and a little the rain in it at times, those sounds are meant as a sort of score.

Rochester is a city on Lake Ontario, in New York State. Old industrial buildings cluster near the Genesee River’s High Falls. A vast collection of toys and dolls forms the core of the Strong National Museum of Play. The George Eastman Museum, on the early-1900s estate of the Kodak founder, has photography exhibits, film archives and gardens. Rochester Museum & Science Center has hands-on displays and a planetarium.
Big-city culture and small-city charm combine in Rochester, a mid-sized city on the shores of Lake Ontario. The birthplace of amateur photography, Rochester has long been known as Kodak Town, but its fame was established well before George Eastman came on the scene. Today, its historical treasures complement modern family-friendly attractions that rival those found in much larger communities.
In Rochester, you can find the only museum in the world dedicated to play; award-winning music, dance, and acting ensembles; a dense festival calendar covering nearly every weekend of the year; minor-league sports of the highest caliber; and a trio of majestic waterfalls right in the middle of the city. The gateway to the scenic and culinary delights of New York's Finger Lakes region, Rochester is the perfect place to begin your exploration of Western New York.
Rochester, known as The Flower City and The World's Image Center, is the third-largest city in the state of New York, after New York City and Buffalo. Lake Ontario lies to its north, with the Genesee River flowing northward through the city and over a set of three waterfalls. The historic Erie Canal also runs along the city's borders.
Rochester isn't the most popular place for sightseeing, although the Genesee River gorge and its three waterfalls are certainly worth a trip. For nature lovers, the most scenic of the city's parks is probably Highland Park, although Genesee Valley Park has more recreation options.
Rochester does have a good number of cultural attractions, though, especially for a city of its size. The most prominent of these is the Strong National Museum of Play, absolutely a can't-miss attraction if you have young kids with you. History buffs will want to stop by the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House, a mecca for students of the women's rights movement. And fans of photography will be awe-struck by the collections at the George Eastman House.
Rochester is a city of small neighborhoods. Most center on one or two main streets and are no more than 5 to 10 blocks in length. The East End, High Falls and Corn Hill are all considered downtown, though each is at a different end. Most of the rest of the popular neighborhoods are on the southeast side. Neighborhood of the Arts, East Ave, Park Ave, and Monroe Village are fairly well connected to each other, but are separated from Swillburg and South Wedge on the other side of route 490. The Public Market is near Neighborhood of the Arts, but East Main still needs a lot of work to connect the two. Charlotte is northwest about a fifteen minute drive from center city.
The flagship festival is, of course, the Lilac Festival, which has been drawing visitors from out of town to Highland Park for over a century. Newer, but no less popular, is the Rochester International Jazz Festival, which has quickly grown into one of the world's top music festivals. Less well-known outside of Rochester is the Park Ave Fest, but it epitomizes the local festival scene and shouldn't be missed if you're in town that weekend.

The Man Behind New York's Central Park and Prospect Park, Stanford University Campus (1999)
Frederick Law Olmsted (April 26, 1822 – August 28, 1903) was an American landscape architect, journalist, social critic, and public administrator. He is popularly considered to be the father of American landscape architecture. Olmsted was famous for co-designing many well-known urban parks with his senior partner Calvert Vaux, including Prospect Park and Central Park in New York City,[2] as well as Elm Park (Worcester, Massachusetts), considered by many to be the first municipal park in America.
Other projects that Olmsted was involved in include the country's first and oldest coordinated system of public parks and parkways in Buffalo, New York; the country's oldest state park, the Niagara Reservation in Niagara Falls, New York; one of the first planned communities in the United States, Riverside, Illinois; Mount Royal Park in Montreal, Quebec; the Emerald Necklace in Boston, Massachusetts; Highland Park in Rochester, New York; Belle Isle Park, in the Detroit River for Detroit, Michigan; the Grand Necklace of Parks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cherokee Park and entire parks and parkway system in Louisville, Kentucky; the 735-acre (297 ha) Forest Park in Springfield, Massachusetts, featuring America's first public wading pool;[3] the George Washington Vanderbilt II Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina; the master plans for the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Maine, and Stanford University near Palo Alto, California as well as for The Lawrenceville School; and Montebello Park in St. Catharines, Ontario. In Chicago his projects include: Jackson Park; Washington Park; the Midway Plaisance for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition; the south portion of Chicago's emerald necklace boulevard ring; Anderson Park in Upper Montclair, New Jersey; Cadwalader Park in Trenton, New Jersey; and the University of Chicago campus. In Washington, D.C., he worked on the landscape surrounding the United States Capitol building.
The quality of Olmsted's landscape architecture was recognized by his contemporaries, who showered him with prestigious commissions. His work, especially in Central Park in New York City, set a standard of excellence that continues to influence landscape architecture in the United States. His second line of achievement involves his activism in conservation, including work at Niagara Falls, the Adirondack region of upstate New York, and the National Park system. Thirdly, he played a major role in organizing and providing medical services to the Union Army in the Civil War.
In Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City, Olmsted is featured as one of the most important figures participating in the design of the 1893 Chicago World's Columbian Exposition. In the book, his personality and actions are given significant coverage. In addition, his importance in designing the fair is highlighted (e.g., his part in picking the geographic site and his bureaucratic involvement in planning the fair).

The Albany Tulip Festival in New York, USA
Albany Tulip Festival in the capital city of Albany, New York, USA,
The Tulip Festival is Albany’s signature spring event. Featuring annual traditions rooted in the city’s rich Dutch heritage, nearly one hundred artisans selling their handmade crafts, a fine arts show, delicious food, the KidZone family fun destination, two stages of world-class live entertainment and more than 140,000 tulips in 150 different varieties, the Tulip Festival is a sparkling showcase of local culture and business. It all takes place in historic Washington Park, the 81-acre “crown jewel” of the City.
Mayor Erastus Corning 2nd declared the tulip as Albany's official flower on July 1, 1948, there has been a Tulip Festival every year since.
On July 11, 1948 Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands selected the Orange Wonder, an 18-inch tall tulip that is orange-shaded with a scarlet toward the center as Albany's tulip.
The first Tulip Fest was celebrated the next year on May 14, 1949 with opening ceremonies still carried on today as tradition, such as the sweeping of State Street and the crowning of a Tulip Queen.
In 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the festival the state of New York designated Albany as the I Love New York Spring Destination
For the 50th anniversary a descendant variety of the Wonder Orange tulip was found in the Netherlands, and the new variety was named City of Albany
