Schoepfle Garden
Schoepfle Garden is a botanical garden and natural woodland bordered by the Vermilion River (Ohio). The garden features collections of rhododendrons, roses, lilies, hostas, various shade plants, along with many varieties of shrubs, topiary and trees. There is a visitor center, and guided tours are available throughout the year. The garden is part of the Lorain County Metro Parks, and is located on Market Street in Birmingham, Erie County, Ohio.
==History==
Schoepfle Garden was the ancestral home of the Schoepfle family, before being sold in 1924 and used as rental property. In 1936 Otto Schoepfle repurchased the house and land originally owned by his grandparents. Over the years, with a great deal of attention, work and help from local young people, Otto was able to turn it into the beautiful garden that can be seen today. Born in 1910, Otto Schoepfle did not start out to create a botanical garden. He in fact referred to it sometimes as “the garden that grew.” Over the years, he traveled Europe to study and learn about different botanical varieties, coming home after each trip with new ideas for plantings. This continual pursuit of learning became a dominant force in his philosophy of life.
In 1969 Otto donated the garden to Lorain County Metro Parks and continued to live in the house and look after it until his death in 1992. The garden now stands as a monument to his values of continual learning and appreciation of both cultivated and natural beauty.
