  Clary Gardens

  • Spaces for 400 Guests

  Clary Gardens is a botanical garden and nonprofit event venue set on rolling hills in Coshocton, Ohio.

Decades later, Elizabeth Clary sought to honor her late husband Lawrence by transforming the family land into a public garden — a vision that came to life when the gardens opened to visitors in 2001. The expansive grounds preserve two 19th-century structures — the Compton House (circa 1830) and the Garden House (circa 1850) — alongside more than thirty natural springs that flow through the hillside and sustain a landscape of roses, daffodils, magnolias, perennials, and mature trees. Wooded trails connect ceremony and reception sites to the broader botanical setting, which shifts beautifully with every season. For private events, Clary Gardens offers a covered pavilion featuring a natural-stone fireplace and built-in lighting, and a stone amphitheater carved into the hillside with terraced natural seating and a forested backdrop.
