Chapters in Ohio

We’ll be helping the Ohio Division of Natural Areas and Preserves (DNAP) staff and Metroparks Toledo collect grass and sedge seeds for restoration projects. Knee high rubber boots, mosquito net, or other bug repellent is recommended. There are no on-site restrooms, but Secor Metropark is close by. To RSVP, email Maureen here.

Learn from the pros how to gather your own seeds from wildflowers, trees, shrubs and more for propagation.
Here is what to expect from this comprehensive hands-on course:

     > Collect native plant seeds in the field

Mark will share how he and his wife, Maria are transforming their traditional suburban property into a thriving native plant habitat while working within neighborhood and HOA expectations. Their front garden showcases native plants in a formal landscape, while their wooded backyard is evolving into a natural woodland oasis. Learn about their compromises, challenges, and rewards of gardening with natives in a suburban setting.

Join us for a native seed collecting event at John and Michelle Grigore's prairie. We'll be using the seeds we collect for the Wild Ones plant sales, the Toledo Grows Seed Swap, and other events. Michelle and her husband John planted their prairie to teach people about native plants and seeds. Michelle and John have turned a 5 acre farm field into a great prairie and excellent native habitat. Take some seeds home for your yard too!
