The focus of The Gardens at Gantz Farm is herbs. Herbs are plants which are useful because they contain
an essential chemical constituent which provides fragrance, flavor, dye, insect repellant, or medicine.
The Gardens at Gantz Farm are unique. A visit to the gardens provides an opportunity to travel through
time by visiting the Gardens of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. The
Garden of Yesterday is a kitchen garden typical of an
Ohio farm in the mid-nineteenth century when the Gantz farmhouse was built. The
Garden of Today is divided into theme gardens which
emphasize the uses made of plant products and the relationships between plants. Landscaping with herbs
is a more recent development. Herbs in the Garden of Tomorrow
are planted for the functions they perform in creating a landscape of the future. Welcome to the Garden at
Gantz Farm. They are for your enjoyment and edification.
