Schnormeier Gardens, Art, Plants, Knox Woods Hike
Details
Day trip to Schnormeier Gardens, followed by a hike at Knox Woods State Nature Preserve.
Schnormeier Gardens are located in the gentle rolling hills of central Ohio. They began building the gardens in 1996. Over the years they have grown to include fifty acres of manicured lawns, ten lakes, a variety of discrete garden areas and several waterfalls.
The focal point of the property is a spectacular Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired home. This private residence was completed in 1994. Other structures on the property include a Japanese teahouse, garden house, Chinese pavilion and arched bridge. An ever growing collection of unique sculptures are also located on the grounds.

The admission to the Gardens is 50 dollars per car load and only happens on the weekends this June. We will need car drivers for this and I would guess that each vehicle can carry 5 people or 10 dollars per person. Sorry, no refunds. We will meet at Knox Woods State nature preserve parking area and carpool approximately 10 minutes to the gardens.
We will then return to the park and Jenny will lead us on a 3 mile or so hike through Knox Woods.
We are guessing the gardens will take 2-3 hours, return to the park and then a short snack/lunch break at the park and then have our hike.
This will be the first time I've required payment for an event. I've already went ahead and purchased 1 ticket for the event. As the event fills, I will purchase more tickets as long as they are available. I set a 1 week time frame for people to sign up so I can make sure we can get tickets.
Dinner at a local establishments if anyone else would like to come.
