New Medicinal Garden at Ohio Governor’s Residence

October 14, 2013 by Tania Marien

The Lloyd Library & Museum invites you!

You are invited to the dedication of the Lloyd Medicinal and Johnny Appleseed Memorial Garden at The Ohio Governor’s Residence on October 23, 2013.

The Friends of the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden is pleased to announce its latest addition to the Heritage Garden — the Lloyd Medicinal and Johnny Appleseed Memorial Garden. This new medicinal garden, named after early 20th-century pharmacist John Uri Lloyd, of Cincinnati, Ohio, surrounds a descendant of one of Johnny Appleseed’s famed late 18th century apple trees planted in Ohio and the surrounding area. These highlight the multiplicity of uses of plants, and those that were especially important to the early families and individuals residing in the state.

The dedication ceremony begins at 1:30 p.m., with special appearances by First Lady Karen W. Kasich, and John Uri Lloyd and Johnny Appleseed impersonators. Light refreshments will be provided. The dedication will be held in the
Heritage Garden at the Ohio Governor’s Residence.

Attendees MUST register in advance by October 16, 2013.
Please go to the Lloyd Library website to RSVP and to get more information.

The Heritage Garden was established in 2000, under the guidance of Former First Lady Hope Taft. The garden was designed to showcase the variety of Ohio’s natural history and environment to the thousands of yearly visitors to the Ohio Governor’s Residence. It has continued to grow and flourish since that time. The idea for the Lloyd Medicinal and Johnny Appleseed Garden was first conceived in 2009. The garden was completed this year.

The Lloyd Medicinal and Johnny Appleseed Garden was made possible through support of the following: Friends of the Lloyd Library and Museum,
Ohio Pharmacists Association, Meisner & Associates Land Vision, Friends of the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden, Greenscapes: Excellence by Design, and Larry Owen.
