New Garden Gate workshop April 25th

The new Garden Gate shop has scheduled its first gardening workshop for Saturday April 25th. 

The Spring workshop will present a simple step-by-step process for making attractive Hypertufa planters to dress your garden in style.      

Presented by OSU Master Gardener Tracey Wiseman at the new Garden Gate Shop, the Hypertufa workshop begins at 2:00 pm and lasts approximately 90 minutes.  

The Garden Gate shop will supply all materials, instruction and hands-on guidance.  Each participant will complete a new Hypertufa planter to take home after the class.  Plantings can be started outdoors after the last frost in late May.        

The Hypertufa planter workshop will be held in the Garden Gate Shop’s new garden studio in Roscoe Village.  The class is limited to 8 people and reservation is required. 

Call the new Garden Gate Shop at (740)  622-8640 for details.

And remember, the new Garden Gate shop opens April 1st — no fooling!  See you then.

You’ve taken the Living History Tour.  You’ve had lunch at the Warehouse Steak n’ Stein.  Your wife has posed for snapshots under the Whitewoman Street sign and disappeared into the Garden Gate. 

Now it’s time to send the kids for hand-dipped ice cream at the Candy Bouquet shop and slip away to every man’s favorite shop in Roscoe Village.

Of all the shops and exhibits in Roscoe Village, River Ridge Leather Company is the most faithful to the 19th-century history and heritage of Roscoe Village Ohio. 

And the shop is operated not by actors, but genuine craftsmen working every day to produce authentic goods with traditional methods.  

Dennis Knight and his journeyman apprentices man the shop daily Wednesday thru Sunday until June 1st. 

And no tour ticket is required to visit this authentic canal-era leather shop.   

Using only traditional hand tools and traditional leatherworking methods, River Ridge Leather Company produces extraordinary one-of-a-kind leather goods made entirely on the premises. 

You can find River Ridge Leather Company in the original James LeRetilley building next to Uncorked on Whitewoman Street.  It is truly the best place in Roscoe Village to see a master craftsman at work. 

It’s also the best place to ask what happened to the Inn and the hardware store.  Click here to visit River Ridge Leather Co. online.

News from The Garden Gate

Every New Year’s Day, when our flowering plants fall asleep under a blanket of snow and the birds fly south for the winter, the Garden Gate closes for hibernation.

This year while Nature rests, we’ll be hard at work moving the Garden Gate store into new digs in Roscoe Village.  The new address will be 403 N. Whitewoman Street.

We’ve planned some very exciting new things for 2009, and when you pass through the Garden Gate this spring, you’ll enter a whole new world of hands-on gardening and crafts and much more personal interaction with Mother Nature. 

We really can’t wait until we return to show you the best new store in Roscoe Village.  So stay tuned to HistoricRoscoeVillage.com for updates on our progress. 

Remember, The Garden Gate re-opens on April 1st.  Enjoy the journey until we see you again!
