Welcome to the Ohio Governor's Residence Museum and Heritage Gardens
Rain Barrel

Below is the rain barrel at the Residence. The wording on the barrel reads "Rain water is a free non-chemically treated natural resource for plants and animals. Central Ohio gets an average of 37" of rain a year that can be stored and used by you to save money and the aquifer." Painted on the barrel are six different plants native to Ohio:

  • Lakeside daisy
  • Small white lady’s-slipper
  • Fringed gentian
  • Wild lupine
  • Calopogon or grass-pink orchid
  • Royal catchfly.
