HUB Garden Class: Natural Trellising
Growing vertically is a great option for small spaces or to increase production in your garden. By reducing the footprint of your large, sprawling plants to just a few square feet, techniques such as trellising can really expand your garden space.
In this beginner-friendly class, we'll discuss the benefits of letting certain crops climb and explore various ways to take your garden to new heights incorporating natural materials like tree branches and small trunks into your garden to support your vining crops. We'll identify the crops that benefit most from trellising and some of the various methods that can be used in vertical gardening. You'll also help build a traditional trellis under the guidance of an experienced Nepalese gardener from the Northgate Community Garden.
Free & open to the public! However, please register so that we can notify you in case of weather-related schedule changes.
This class will take place at the Northgate Community Garden: 9151 Zoellner Dr., Cincinnati, OH 45251.

Explore the many purposes of herbs and their medicinal values grown locally in our Melrose Medicinal Garden with Ethnobotanist Meghan Henshaw. We’ll also explore the Indigenous importance of sweetgrass followed by a hand-on demonstration.
Meghan has spent many years studying the plethora of ways in which medicinal plants are woven into the fabric of everyday life. This has led her all over the United States and abroad to Morocco, England, Mexico and Italy, where she has worn the hats of field researcher, wildcrafter, herbalist and educator.
