Schedel Arboretum & Gardens

Schedel Arboretum & Gardens Website: www.schedel-gardens.org Well that’s exactly what you will see when you visit the 17 acres of preserved natural beauty at Schedel Arboretum and Gardens!
(249)

The gardens are currently closed until April however, appointments for weddings and other events are possible [email protected] to make an appointment. Imagine stepping out your back door only to find yourself
lost in acres upon acres of brightly colored gardens filled
with Bloodgood Japanese Maples, Chinese Fringe Trees, Colorado Blue Spruces, Cucumber Mongolias, 18 different species

of pine, more than 50 varieties of lilacs and Bald cypress, and an innumerate variety of other flowers, trees,
and shrubs. On land of more than 100 acres, Joseph and Marie Schedel bought this property and a charming Victorian mansion located in Elmore, Ohio (Northwest Ohio near Toledo) in 1929 for the development of an arboretum and gardens. Having
traveled to more than 100 countries, this couple filled their mansion with
treasures like a Hereke silk prayer rug, antique Persian rugs, teak furniture, Japanese silk embroideries, 1000-year-old bronze, and one of the largest
remaining Jade collections in the world. The Joseph J. & Marie P. Schedel Foundation was established by the Schedels in 1963 to protect and preserve their estate for the enjoyment of present and future generations. To preserve the Schedel’s dreams, their property was left with those who would care for it after their deaths in the 1980s. The main purpose of the Foundation today is to promote and maintain the arboretum and gardens for the enjoyment and education of residents of the region and beyond. The Schedel Arboretum & Gardens is proud to display and maintain the largest collection of lithophanes in the World - The Blair Collection. Originally donated by collector Laurel Blair to the City of Toledo in 1993, the collection was housed in Mr. Blair's Old West End Toledo home until his death. Starting in 2002, the collection was displayed in the Artist's Village at the Toledo Botanical Gardens. Unable to care for the collection any longer, and pursuant to Mr. Blair's original donation agreement, the City of Toledo passed the collection to the Schedel Foundation as an organization capable of its care as successor donee in July 2020. Additionally, the picturesque gardens have become a popular location for weddings, receptions, parties, and other social functions. The Brown Welcome Center was completed in 2008 and houses not only the administrative offices for the Schedel Arboretum and Gardens, but also a fine art gallery as well as banquet and meeting facilities for groups up to 100 people. With state-of-the-art audio-video facilities, spacious meeting rooms, and breath-taking vistas, it’s a great place for groups to meet!
