FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

 

Announcing the Lloyd Medicinal and Johnny Appleseed Memorial Garden at
The Ohio Governor's Residence and Heritage Garden

New installment set for dedication on October 23, 2013

 

COLUMBUS, OH-The Friends of the Ohio Governor's Residence and Heritage
Garden is pleased to announce its latest addition to the Heritage
Garden, the Lloyd Medicinal and Johnny Appleseed Memorial Garden. A new
medicinal garden, named after early 20th century pharmacist John Uri
Lloyd, of Cincinnati, Ohio, surrounds a descendant of one of Johnny
Appleseed's famed late 18th century apple trees planted in Ohio and the
surrounding area. These highlight the multiplicity of uses of plants,
and those that were especially important to the early families and
individuals residing in the state. 

 

This outdoor event begins at 1:30 p.m., with special appearances by
First Lady Karen W. Kasich, and John Uri Lloyd and Johnny Appleseed
impersonators, starting at 2:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be
provided. The event takes place at the Heritage Garden, Ohio Governor's
Residence, 358 North Parkview Avenue, Columbus, Ohio. Attendees MUST
register in advance by October 16, 2013, at
www.lloydlibrary.org/LMGRSVP.html, where full details can be found. 

 

The Heritage Garden got its start in 2000, under the guidance of Former
First Lady Hope . The garden was designed to showcase the variety of
Ohio's natural history and environment to the thousands of yearly
visitors to the Ohio Governor's Residence. It has continued to grow and
flourish since that time, with periodic additions being made. The Lloyd
Medicinal and Johnny Appleseed Garden was first conceived in 2009 with
final installation of the garden being completed this year. 

 

The Lloyd Medicinal and Johnny Appleseed Garden was made possible
through support of the following: Friends of the Lloyd Library and
Museum, Ohio Pharmacists Association, Meisner & Associates Land Vision,
Friends of the Ohio Governor's Residence and Heritage Garden,
Greenscapes: Excellence by Design, and Larry Owen.
