This event is free and open to the public and visitors are cordially invited to attend the weekend event and tour the Garden from 1-5 p.m.

Clary Gardens is a new public garden set in the rolling Appalachian foothills of Coshocton County.   

Clary Gardens is a treasure trove of natural splendor and tranquility established with long-term sustainable garden practices in mind.

The entrance to Clary Gardens is a mere 500 feet west of North Whitewoman Street, making it a breeze to add an enriching walking tour of Clary Gardens to your next visit to Roscoe Village Ohio.

Quilt art exhibit opens at the JH Museum in Roscoe Village

The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Roscoe VIllage Ohio is opening its newest exhibit on Saturday May 16. 

Pushing The Surface is a biennial exhibit of 24 art quilts by renowned American and international quilt artists. The collection is displayed daily at the museum through August 9, 2009. 

Unlike Grandma’s dusty old quilts, the textile art pieces in this exhibit fuse many techniques into the traditional craft of quilting with spectacular results – pushing the surface of traditional comfort to a new level of artistry. 

Just like Grandma’s quilts, though, you can’t take a nap on these.  

Instead, you should take the tour of the Pushing The Surface exhibit and see the J-H Museum’s amazing permanent exhibits and collections of Native American art, Ohio history, European decorative arts and weaponry all summer long.  

Pushing The Surface opens Saturday May 16 and continues all summer long.  For tours, tickets and a peek inside the amazing Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum in Roscoe Village Ohio click here.

WHEN YOU GO:  Combine your tour of the quilt exhibit at the JH Museum, with a guided tour of Clary Gardens — the new public botanical garden around the corner from Historic Roscoe Village.  Clary Gardens is open every day and tours are free.  Call (740) 622-6524 if you need to be convinced about “free” and “open to the public.”

Spring Bulb Celebration at Clary Gardens this weekend

The Spring Bulb Celebration at Clary Gardens begins this Friday and Saturday April 24-25.

Adjacent to Roscoe Village on Chestnut Street, Clary Gardens is a public garden established to preserve and showcase the unique botanical splendor of our Appalachian foothills region. 

Beginning this weekend, when thousands of tulips and daffodils are at their peak, the Spring Bulb Celebration is the perfect time to become acquainted with Clary Gardens. 

Clary Gardens is open to the public every day.  Free guided tours are available this Friday and Saturday, April 24th and 25th, during the Spring Bulb Celebration. 

You can also take a self-guided tour of the 20-acre garden anytime, and enjoy the historical 18th century homes, botanical gardens, sandstone ampitheater and unique Woodland Trail at your leisure.  When you do, we think you’ll agree that Clary Gardens is one of the most beautiful places to visit in all of Coshocton County Ohio.

Let it snow, let it snow

The first real snowfall of winter is arriving in Roscoe Village, covering Whitewoman Street, the Towpath Trail and the Woodlands at Clary Gardens and transforming our local vineyards into stunning winterscapes.  

Roscoe Village is beautiful in winter, draped in a thick white blanket that enhances the charm of this  authentically restored 18th-century Ohio Canal Town.    

Unlike the nearby Basket Village in Dresden, Roscoe Village shops are open all year long.  Our streets and sidewalks are cleared swept by 10:00 a.m. every day.  And when the shops and restaurants in Ohio’s Amish Country close to tourists on Sunday, Roscoe Village welcomes all visitors.  

Our nextdoor neighbors Lake Park and Clary Gardens have rolling hills for sledding and are open to the public every day.  A walk down the Towpath Trail is one of Roscoe Village’s best adventures and is especially glorious in wintertime,  with stunning cascades of icicles and mountains of snow drifts. 

And when it’s time to get warm again, Uncorked and The Olde Warehouse serve hot chocolate all day and night.

Clary Gardens going online

Roscoe Village’s best neighbor, Clary Gardens, is developing a new web presence to showcase the public  gardens, woodland preserve and ongoing sustainable gardening practices on the property.  

Clary Gardens is a regional treasure and the new website will allow you to sample some of its beauty and serenity online while you plan your next trip to Roscoe Village.
