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.
