The garden covers eight acres and features a wildflower garden (pictured), a daylilly garden, hosta garden, a daffodil garden, and a dahlia garden. Mr. Hauck planted about 900 different types of trees and shrubs on the property, including beech, oak, magnolia, and azaleas. The nice thing, is that all of these trees are labeled.
The gardens are open from dawn to dusk. A permit is required to enter the park. You can either purchase a day permit for $3.00, or a year permit (good for all Cincinnati parks) for $10.00.
interesting lookingardens---especially would love the wildflower part!
ReplyDeleteThey are really pretty!
DeleteI"ve got a friend in Cincy - we've been all over but never to these gardens. Guess I need to visit her again, and hey - we could catch up in person.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pics and the entrance fee is reasonable
A lot of people don't know about these gardens. If you come back to Cincinnati, I hope you get to see them. And yes, perhaps we could meet in person. That would be fun!
DeleteCincy is certainly dressed in her finest; very nice!
ReplyDeleteIt does look nice, and not at all what you would picture for a garden named, "sooty acres!"
DeleteSomeone else posted about those gardens in April - beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteWell, that's interesting. Not too many people know about this garden, so it must've been a fellow Cincinnattian.
DeleteNice! Wonder when would I bee in Cincinnati ... Btw. My garden is getting there --not quite but slowly ...
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your garden is making progress. It takes time, but I'm sure it will be lovely when it's all together.
DeleteMy lord, that looks gorgeous!! The year pass I would definitely take, hahaha. And over nine hundred different types of trees, jeez. It sounds like a work of outside art. Would love to visit there someday, thats for sure.
