Learn what plants attract butterflies, see what treasures are growing in the greenhouse, enjoy the calming effects of this garden’s decorative pond, and purchase some delicious sourdough bread from the farmstand before relaxing on the deck.
Shirl’s Garden — Enter this beautiful garden in Dover through the iron gate. Walk along the brick path while appreciating the surrounding water feature. Take in the breathtaking views of the big blue hydrangeas, lady in red roses, french ferns, Japanese maple, and enjoy the shade of a lover’s birch and dogwood trees.
Terra Depot — This nature specialty shop in Navarre features bird feeders, bird houses, delightful garden statuary, and more. Tour the 100’ high tunnel featuring seven heirloom varieties of red raspberries and learn how to support a healthy habitat with native plants including perennials, shrubs, and trees.
The Zoar Garden — Dating back to 1830 this garden located in the Historic Zoar Village is laid out as the Separatists of Zoar once had it planted. The garden is a representation of the New Jerusalem from the book of Revelations. 12 apostle trees circle a large center tree representing Jesus. A large variety of modern and historic plantings are available for view including peonies planted by the Separatists themselves. The garden also features a garden house with an attached hot house, one of the first in Ohio.
