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).

With the historical Total Solar Eclipse happening on April 8th this year, our 2024 gardens follow a Celestial Theme of Adventure and Discovery. You'll see some references in our floral displays and 2024 events will evolve around the night sky, planting by the moon, migration events, turning of the seasons, and other Ethereal garden topics. Take a walk and remember the beauty of all things in the outdoors that Transverse Time.
