Beech Creek Gardens

We believe that quality of life and the health of the environment are interdependent and that an understanding of nature improves the lives of individuals. We provide educational opportunities and interactive experiences that inspire people to be good stewards of their communities and the world.

Beech Creek Gardens is located on a 175 acre site in Stark County’s Washington Township, in the heart of northeastern Ohio.  The site has some outstanding features including Beech Creek, for which the property is named.  The Beech Creek is a head-water tributary of the Mahoning River and crosses the property.   Prior water quality tests were rated good to excellent. The terrain and vegetation are diverse with approximately 70% of the land being forested, and over 150 species of native plants.
