Garden Projects

Page Court Square/ Main Street
Tim France is the 2012 Chair. The committee plants & maintains Main Street beds and planters and keeps the Court Square beds spiffy while providing an opportunity for court-ordered community service individuals to put in their time and learn more about gardening.
Page Gardens at Lake Park
We continue our efforts to keep Lake Park beautiful and hope to continue to add new pictures through the year.
Page Ohio Flag Garden
We have continued the Ohio Flag Garden at Lake Park. Reta is the 2012 chair of this garden.
Page Parking Lot Garden
Started in July 2003, the median in front of the County Services Building (where the OSU Extension Office is housed) had been neglected. Two locust trees had been cut down in 2002 and all that was left were about 24 misplaced and mangled Cotoneaster... That all changed on July 30, 2003. Teresa Donley is the 2012 chair.
Page Phenology Garden
In 2004 the Phenology Garden, a state-wide research project coordinated by Dan Herms, OSU Extension Entomologist, OARDC Wooster, and Denise Ellsworth, OSU Extension- Summit Co., Horticultural Educator, began in Coshocton County. The trees and shrubs planted in the OSU Phenology Garden network sites (34 sites, in all) will monitored for the first and full bloom, which will assist with identifying insect activity by the amount of "growing degree days". Knowing an insects life cycle can encourage more effective pest control and also saves in time, money and energy. Marcia and Jim have been monitoring and collecting data for this project.
