  Clary Gardens

  588 W Chestnut St, Coshocton, OH 43812, USA

  • Spaces for 400 Guests

  Clary Gardens is a botanical garden and nonprofit event venue set on rolling hills in Coshocton, Ohio. The property traces its roots to 1907, when the Clary brothers established a greenhouse and florist operation celebrated for hothouse roses. 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. Bridal and groom suites are available on-site. The venue accommodates weddings, elopements, and private receptions for guests looking for a naturally romantic setting steeped in local history.

  • Spaces for 100 Guests

  The Dawes Arboretum is a nearly 2,000-acre conservation area in central Ohio, founded in 1929 by Beman and Bertie Dawes. Beman began the property in 1918 as a 140-acre farm he called "Daweswood," planting more than 50,000 trees before the Arboretum's official founding, with the mission "to encourage the planting of forest and ornamental trees... to give pleasure to the public and education to the youth." Today the Arboretum is dedicated to enriching lives through the conservation of trees, nature, and history. The grounds include a Japanese Garden designed in 1963 and considered one of the first of its kind in Ohio, a boardwalk-accessed Cypress Swamp, a Deep Woods area with trees over 200 years old, and Dawes Lake. Daweswood House, the family's original brick farmhouse, is preserved as a museum with ten rooms of 19th- and 20th-century antiques, alongside historic structures including the Zand Barn and Eagle Gate. The property also holds the Beard-Green Cemetery, a historic burial ground with Revolutionary War veterans. A Visitors Center anchors the main grounds with a Discovery Center, Bird Watching Garden, and gift shop, while the Learning Garden supports educational programming and donates its plantings to local food pantries.
