About Gardenview Horticultural Park

Location:

16711 Pearl Rd, Strongsville, OH 44136, US

Mission Statement

Our mission is the development, evolution and maintenance of gardens made up of rare plants and flowers which provide enjoyment, education and inspiration. At Gardenview, enjoy a natural, cottage-style landscape that appears to have happened by itself.

Description

The sixteen-acre plot of land in the heart of busy Strongsville is an oasis of natural beauty. Originally swampy farmland, Henry A. Ross purchased the property in 1949 and single handedly transformed it into an incredible plot of winding, colorful gardens.
The gardens are funded entirely by admission and generous donations, leaving garden maintenance to two full time employees and seasonal help.
