This is a community gardening class taught by the Conservatory’s Growing to Green Coordinator, Sean McKay. Classes in The Communal Garden series teach gardeners skills that can be used in community gardens or to support their community through gardening. They are low-cost in an effort to advance gardening skills in our communities. The series is a part of the Conservatory’s Growing to Green program, which supports and develops community gardens across Central Ohio.
The show-stopping beauty of the garden doesn’t have to end with the summer! There are many plants- from winter ornamentals to trees and shrubs that show beautiful color and add interest to your garden in the colder seasons. Think about what plants might benefit your garden, as well as what plants are most hardy for an Ohio climate and make sure you are ready for winter! This class will have a short hands-on walk through the garden on a flat gravel path, so please dress accordingly for the weather.
