Skunk Cabbage


Our very first blooming “wildflower” produces enough heat to melt snow and raise its internal temperature to anywhere from 59 degrees to 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s warm and toasty inside the smelly skunk cabbage!

Gallant Farm Preserve was purchased in 2003. Funds for the purchase and the construction of an entrance drive were obtained through a grant from the CleanOhio Fund. Located directly across Buttermilk Hill Road from Gallant Woods Preserve, this 19 acre park will be the site of a reproduction historic 1930’s-1940’s era farm. The farmstead will consist of a house in the appropriate style of the time, a variety of buildings which would have been utilized by the farmer during that time period, various gardens and orchards, as well as demonstration crop fields. Additionally, there will be a small welcome center and farm museum to give visitors an introduction to the farmstead.
