GET INVOLVED
Clary Gardens is a 20-acre botanical garden that is FREE and open to the public. The garden's mission is to involve the community in developing and maintaining a public botanical garden that provides access to horticultural education, environmental stewardship, local history and the arts. Our hillside landscape makes for a unique experience for all. We offer recreational trails for all ages and varying levels of terrain, showcasing the rose garden all the way through our half-mile woodland loop - a fascinating area with natural geologic formations (a local favorite).
