Schoepfle Garden, Botanical garden in Wakeman, Ohio, United States.
The 77-acre property contains botanical gardens and natural woodlands along the Vermilion River, featuring collections of rhododendrons, roses, and shade plants.
Otto Schoepfle purchased his grandparents' land in 1936 and developed the gardens over decades before donating them to Lorain County Metro Parks in 1969.
The Children's Garden, added in 2007, incorporates musical elements such as the Rocky G Clef and Flute-A-Pillar, reflecting Otto Schoepfle's interests.
Visitors must stay on designated paths, refrain from picking flowers, and obtain permits for group activities while exploring the formal gardens and woodland trails.
Nearly fifty acres of natural woodlands connect the cultivated gardens to the Vermilion River, providing spaces for wildflower observation and wildlife encounters.
