Our Gardens
We are excited to share this year's gardens. The 2024 Gardens feature an integrated use of natives and traditional flowers, vegetable gardening, spaces for entertaining, imaginative hardscape, and small and large lots. Enjoy this sneak preview!
Home #1
This township treasure finds a warm, welcoming entrance accented by swathes of both traditional and native blooms. Step into the backyard and escape from the busy world. A yard for play and pretty patio are protected by artfully planted trees and large beds of daylilies, Solomon's seal, hydrangeas, and Lenten roses.
Home #2
We continue our travels in the township, to an expansive lot perfect for an enjoyable amble or entertaining. This three-season perennial garden is filled with drought and deer resistant plants. Rectangular beds complement the modern architecture of the home. Many unique specimens - London Plain trees, White Indigo, Blue Star - sit side by side with daisies, peony, and rudbeckia. A no mow grass fringe frames the yard.
Home #3
In the Lake Minear area, patrons will tour an intriguing example of the "New American" garden - a 1980's landscape design movement. Its founding fathers are landscape architects, James Van Sweden and Wolfgang Oehme. Here find a simple design with few plants and outcroppings, set in wide brushstrokes. A sweep of No-Mow grass guides to the entrance, and a cutting bed frames the walk into the back yard sanctuary.
Home #4
The gardener of this charming village home created a haven with interesting specimens, three season color, a sweet patio, and a riot of color cascading from the front window boxes and containers, bursts of white, red, and pink begonias and geraniums. In the backyard, a pergola graced with cafe lights provides a romantic spot for dinner and wine, while two chairs tucked into the front bed functions as a porch, for coffee and chats with neighbors and friends.
Home #5
Out to Bull Creek - don't miss this treasure. Patrons will immediately feel at home. Walk up to an inviting front porch, with pretty beds of mixed flowers and shrubs. Patrons have requested a focus on vegetable gardening, and our homeowners have a large, sunny kitchen garden, fruit trees, raspberries and...chickens! They have canned up to 100 jars of raspberry jams and can share stories of the joys and struggles of vegetable/fruit gardening.
