Visit a Garden in Northwest Ohio

Gathering ideas, appreciating the beauty others create provides inspiration for our own gardens. With an economy squeezing so many of us, there’s little left over to take one or two week vacations to faraway places. If, like me, you’re one of those people who love to explore new places, but can’t afford to travel far, check out what’s in our backyard. Here’s a short list of gardens and a nursery to visit and the best part is…every one is in northwest Ohio.
