Schnormeier Gardens, Gambier

Sharing something beautiful is one of the most important things we can do in our human experience. The Schnormeiers are gracious and welcoming. They are proud of the beauty they created but not boastful. I will go back every year and in fact would never leave if I wasn't required to under Ohio trespassing laws. I have posted photos in the hopes that they see these and see in me some kind of raw talent that they can mold and hire me as ..I don't know..literally anything. I have created several imaginary worlds in which this works out in a mutually beneficial way.

It's only open a few days a year to the public and worth putting multiple reminders on your phone for. This year they did a flat fee of $35 per vehicle and 6 of us went in a van. Gorgeous grounds, great volunteers and family coordinating everything, you will not regret it. There is quite a bit of walking up and down the hills, but there are paths you can take that are flatter if you need.
