Roger Seely, owner of Seelys Landscape Nursery, graduated from Ohio State University in Landscape Horticulture in 1969 with a minor in Landscape Architecture. After graduation, he served in the army and was sent to Germany. After being discharged from the army, he traveled Europe extensively. Being able to speak French and German enabled Roger to visit many gardens that the typical tourist does not get to see.
Upon returning to the USA, he started German Village in 1970 and specialized in dwarf conifers and landscapes with that Old World Charm.
In 1978, he started the German Village Garden Garage, which specialized in perennials, annuals, herbs (over 125 varieties), spring and summer flowering bulbs, water plants (first in Columbus to grow and retail water plants), and the use of tropical plants outside in the garden.
In 1988, he outgrew German Village and moved his design offices and garden center to Hilliard and combined them with his existing nursery (Seelys Plant Ranch) to form Seelys Landscape Nursery/German Village Landscape.
In the early 90's, with this newly expanded nursery, he began to incorporate a multitude of plants from the following groups into his landscape designs: spring bulbs, summer bulbs, tropical foliage and flowering plants, annuals, perennials, woody flowering shrubs, wild flowers, shade and flowering trees, evergreens and dwarf conifers.
In the late 90's, Roger, through his son, Roger Jr.s love and interest in hostas, began to cultivate a propensity for shade gardening with a major emphasis on the use of hosta in combination with other shade loving plants. His 17 = acre nursery, located at 3265 Walcutt Road, Hilliard, Ohio, carries more than 800 varieties of shade plants, of which over 600 are hosta. Roger is also proud of his extensive dwarf conifer collection, which range in age from 1 to 50 years old and are also available to the retail public.
