SUMMARY:Porch Talk: Gardening for Birds with Chris Tonra
DESCRIPTION:Gardening for Birds\, followed by a bird walk with Chris Tonra (Associate Professor of Avian Wildlife Ecology at OSU’s School of Environment and Natural Resources; and Chair of the Wilma H. Schiermeier Olentangy River Wetland Research Park)\n  \nEarly May is peak migration for birds returning to their breeding grounds\, and Ohio is truly a mecca for this annual phenomenon. Dr. Tonra has been studying avian ecology and conservation for the last 26 years and has been at OSU for the last twelve. Though he’s traveled extensively for his research\, much of it has focused on habitat ecology right here in Ohio. Join us to learn which plants are most beneficial for our local and migratory birds. We’ll also have some Smithsonian-certified bird-friendly coffee (can drinking coffee really help conserve birds??) and delicious breakfast pastries. After the presentation\, Dr. Tonra will guide us on a bird walk around the nursery and conservation areas. \n  \nSaturday\, May 9\, 2026 \nfrom 8am – 10am \n  \nCost: $20 per person \nCoffee & breakfast treat included!

SUMMARY:Porch Talk: Spring into Ephemerals
DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the fascinating world of spring ephemerals—those unique plants that emerge\, bloom\, and disappear within a short window in early spring. Attendees will learn what defines a spring ephemeral and why these plants play such an important role in forest and garden ecosystems. \nThe talk highlights both popular and lesser-known species\, including Trillium\, Virginia Bluebells\, Wood Poppy\, Dutchman’s Breeches\, and Jack-in-the-Pulpit. Lesser-known varieties such as Hepatica\, Rue Anemone\, Toothwort\, Shooting Stars\, and Uvularia will also be covered\, offering a broad overview of native woodland flora. \nFor each species\, the presentation will discuss preferred growing conditions\, such as soil type\, moisture\, light requirements\, and recommended zones. Advice on companion planting will be provided\, helping gardeners create harmonious and sustainable plant communities. The session will conclude with practical tips for cultivating spring ephemerals and integrating them into both natural and designed landscapes. \n  \nSaturday\, April 25\, 2026 \nfrom 11am – 12pm \n  \nCost: $10 per person

SUMMARY:Native Landscaping 101: A Winter Education Series (CLASS 3 Implementation and Maintenance)
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re a homeowner with a small plot or a landscaper with a suite of clients\, using native plants will elevate your home\, landscape\, and business. Gain access to trailblazing experts with more than 60 years of combined experience. You will learn the entire process from start to finish! \n  \nCLASS 1 The What and Why of Native Plants (January 28th 6-8pm): This opening class explores why native plants are essential to the health of our local ecosystems—and why they’re the heartbeat of a thriving landscape. We’ll connect the dots between native plants\, insects\, pollinators\, birds\, and the broader food web. We’ll also learn how to uncover the clues to choosing the right plants for your site and introduce the major species native to the Midwest region. You’ll receive an exhaustive list of plants and their traits. This session sets the stage for the hands-on tools and deeper dives offered in the upcoming classes. \n  \nCLASS 2 Introduction to Naturalistic Landscape Design (February 25th 6-8pm): Thoughtful design can create a stunning aesthetic and an outdoor space that feels good\, functions well\, and provides crucial habitat. This class will illustrate how an ecological design is drawn\, from an auditor base map to site analysis to a shapes and planting plan. We’ll also cover how to design a biodiverse native garden using the matrix planting method. You’ll learn how this approach\, inspired by natural plant communities\, can create a resilient\, low-maintenance\, and ecologically rich garden. We’ll explore the roles of different plant types—from the “matrix” of groundcovers to “drifters” and “structural plants”—and how to select species that thrive in your local conditions.  \n  \n**CLASS 3 Implementation and Maintenance (March 25th 6-8pm): In this final class\, we get our hands dirty—creating a game plan for executing concepts from the previous 2 sessions\, resulting in a garden you can live in and enjoy. From sod removal and mulching strategies to pruning and the Chelsea chop\, you’ll learn the secrets to keeping it looking beautiful season after season\, year after year. We’ll also cover “landscape math”—just how much gravel or mulch will you need and how many plants will fill your space? You’ll leave this class with a detailed schedule for planting and maintenance\, a pruning guide\, and a handout detailing how to calculate your material quantities. \n  \nWith an incredible breadth of experience\, our instructors come from every facet of the trade—plant propagation\, design\, installation\, maintenance\, harvest. Together\, they have the inside knowledge on both the plants and growing conditions specific to our region that will ensure you come away with the exact information you need to be successful. \n\nAmy Dutt\, co-owner of Scioto Gardens and owner of Urban Wild Design\nMichael Keeler\, founder and principal of Ohio Native Concepts \nPatty Shipley\, founder and owner of Leaves for Wildlife \nTisa Watts\, founder and owner of the Columbus Garden School\n\n  \nAll classes will take place at Olentangy River Brewing Co. (303 Green Meadows Dr.\, S. Lewis Center\, OH 43035). Serving coffee and a variety of beers\, 1 free drink is included with each class. Drink tickets will be distributed at the venue day-of. Food truck usually on site as well. \n  \n$35/class (or $90 if you sign up for all 3).  \n  \nSpace limited—sign up now! Advance registration required.
