Quailcrest Farm is located in Wooster, Ohio. It's a nursery that was begun in 1975, but the neat thing about it, is that there are more than two dozen display gardens that visitors can enjoy. One of my favorites is a Teahouse garden that surrounds an old school house. The garden has lilacs, magnolia trees, and lavender. If you'd like, you can go in the school house to view the collection of antiques.
There's also an herb garden with mints and scented geraniums.
When you are finished enjoying the gardens, you can visit the greenhouse to buy the plants you have seen. Probably the most popular plants are the roses and scented geraniums. If you're looking for gifts, there's a Garden Barn where you can find all kinds of fun things for the garden.
Quailcrest Farm is open Tuesday - Saturday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission to see the gardens is free.
I bet the herb garden smells strong.
ReplyDeleteYes, it does. But it's a good smell.
Deletethis would be a weakness for me...a definite place to spend $!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I have that problem, too!

DeleteRecently I have visited a tea plantation and this post reminded me that plantation --such a lovely memory.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great place!
DeleteTea house garden is just lovely. Such an inspiring place to discover one's green thumb. Would probably leave with a pot or two after a visit to the greenhouse.
ReplyDeleteI certainly didn't get out without a few pots!
DeleteHi Sherry .. certainly more on offer than elsewhere - sounds a great place to visit .. Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHi, Sherry! Sounds like a great place to visit. I'd be interested in getting a look in that old schoolhouse.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Husband is our gardener. My thumb is so black I have to apologize to the plants for being in their space when I go outside :)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you!
