Gardening in Cincinnati: Its Rich History and Your Garden for the Future

Talk by Scott Beuerlein, Manager of Botanical Garden Outreach at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Spring has finally arrived in Cincinnati and nature is blooming.  Isn't this a perfect time to listen to a garden talk from an expert? You will also learn about Cincinnati's natural history and get some good advice for your own gardening projects this year. Register and tune in for our Gardening in Cincinnati, Online talk next Tuesday, April 13th! 

Cincinnati has a unique natural history that has long plagued gardeners with a challenging limestone-based, clay soil, a wildly variable topography, and an unpredictable continental climate. But Cincinnati also possesses a very rich and fascinating horticultural history that has gifted us with many beautiful parks and public gardens that display an unbelievably diverse and beautiful palette of plants. This talk will familiarize you not only with the history and the background of Cincinnati's horticulture, but also give you planting advice and a list of some of the very best plants you can use to create exceptional gardens at home.
