SUMMARY:Natural Gardening for Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:This is a joint program with the Cincinnati Chapter of Wild Ones  and Midwest Native Plant Society\, Inc.  The program will be held at Civic Garden Center of Greater Cincinnati\, 2715 Reading Rd\, Cincinnati\, OH\, 45206\, from 9:30 to 12:30 on June 28. We have two excellent speakers planned\, an opportunity to network with other native plant enthusiasts. The event is free\, but space is limited\, so pre-registration is required.  Register here: https://midwestnativeplantsociety.regfox.com/natural-gardening-for-landscapes. After the talks\, you are welcome to stroll the grounds to see some inspiring landscaping\, the new native plant greenhouse\, and more. Feel free to bring your lunch to eat on the grounds after the program. \nDemystifying the Matrix Planting Style\, Jennifer Smith \nFamous designers such as Piet Oudolf\, Dan Pearson\, and Adam Woodruff are known for their lush gardens that hold their beauty year-round. They have also brought the Matrix planting style to the front pages of garden magazines and books. But what is Matrix planting\, and what can we learn from these designers and their way to plan a garden? Join us as we discuss employing the Matrix planting style when planting for pollinators. This talk is for all levels. \nJennifer Smith is an award-winning pollinator garden designer and educator at Wimberg Landscaping. She has been planting with nature for more than 20 years\, she designed and maintains the Wimberg Landscaping pollinator garden at Ault Park\, the new pollinator garden at the Wasson Way bike trail\, as well as the gardens surrounding Wimberg’s office. She was a volunteer gardener with Ault Park for nearly 10 years\, and was the coordinator of the Adopt-a-Plot program at Ault Park for several years. She is a garden writer\, photographer\, and speaker and former garden blogger for Horticulture Magazine. \nPlanting Native in a World of HOAs & Weed Ordinances\, Sam Settlemeyre \nGardening with native plants is an incredibly rewarding experience\, however the experience can quickly sour if you receive a citation for your natural garden. Weed ordinances\, HOA rules\, and societal norms encourage mowed manicured lawns restricted by height and general appearance. Requiring uniformity makes it easy to enforce these rules\, but completely ignores the needs of other organisms that are trying to survive in our suburban landscapes. In this class we will take a closer look at local weed ordinances and HOA rules that make planting native difficult. We will explore how one can plant native without getting cited and what you should do in the case that you do receive a citation for your natural garden. Finally\, we will look at some local efforts to change these laws and learn about how you can get involved. \nSam is the Conservation Program Manager at the Civic Garden Center of Greater Cincinnati where he works to support healthy green spaces and restore urban habitats. Through his work he provides education and resources to homeowners\, partner organizations and volunteers working in public spaces. Outside of work\, Sam serves as a board member for Northside Greenspace. Like many native plant geeks\, his love for the outdoors led him to develop a passion for this work and drives him to introduce others to the wonders of the natural world.
