SUMMARY:Container Gardening Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Fall Container Gardening Workshop with Meadow City Nursery\nTuesday\, September 10th\, 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM EDT \nNo yard\, no problem!\nMany native plants thrive in outdoor planters\, where they can still provide food for birds and pollinators. In this hands-on workshop\, we will put together a container garden with three native plants\, which can live on a porch\, a balcony\, or in your yard. \nIncluded in the cost of the program are:\nYour choice of planter/bring your own planter (see below)\nGrowing media to fill planter\nYour choice of 3 native plants (in 4″ pots)\nGuidance/materials on plant selection and maintenance\n\n\nChoose your planter (photos below): Wooden whiskey barrel planter\, black fabric planter (can stand alone or be placed inside a larger decorative planter)\, or bring your own. If you bring your own planter\, we recommend one with a minimum diameter of 15″ and with drainage holes.\n\nIf you are planning to use a ceramic pot\, choose a high-quality glazed pot with a wide opening and tapered base. This gives water space to expand when frozen and reduces the risk of your pot cracking over the winter. Terra cotta pots are particularly susceptible to cracking.\n\nREGISTER: https://givebutter.com/Ve5XD2\n\n\n$45-$65 per person\, depending on planter chosen. Registration required.  \nThank you to our partner Meadow City Nursery!

SUMMARY:Is Nature More Cooperative Than We Think? A Talk with Kristin Ohlson
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 15 | 6:00PM-7:00PM | Nature Center \nJoin us for a very special author talk from writer Kristin Ohlson! Books available for purchase from Mac’s Backs-Books on Coventry.\nMost people believe that nature is characterized by competition and conflict—red in tooth and  claw\, as the poet Tennyson said. But recent science suggests that cooperative relationships among living things have both shaped the world around us and continue to knit ecosystems together. How can we both uphold these cooperative relationships and become a cooperative partner with the rest of life? \nRegistration Link: https://givebutter.com/87QPaA

SUMMARY:SUMMER WEDNESDAYS: Folk Garden Groove
DESCRIPTION:July 10: Folk Garden Groove \nExperience the charm of folk melodies intertwining with the rhythmic cadence of nature. \nFolk musicians Paul Kovac’s Big ‘Grass Band: At a point in time\, Bluegrass music was one band’s way (Bill Monroe & his Bluegrass Boys) of trying to make a living\, and since it’s inception\, nearly 70 years ago\, Bluegrass has become an accepted form of uniquely American music\, a style quickly identified by the sound of it’s instrumentation\, singing & songwriting\, has stood the test of time\, and is now considered a traditional music form. \nContainer Garden Workshop – walk-ins welcome |REGISTER \nBring a packed dinner and enjoy 25% ice cream at the Duck Pond Gift Shop.  \nAbout the Band Paul Kovac caught the Bluegrass bug while in his teens\, learning to play banjo\, guitar & mandolin\, and quickly joined bands in an effort to ‘earn-while-you-learn’. Realizing that the older\, first-generation musicians held the keys to the kingdom\, he set out to see\, meet and play with as many as he could. Over the year’s\, Paul’s performed with Bill Monroe\, Chubby Wise\, Mac Wiseman\, Vassar Clements\, and countless others. These experiences have been the bedrock of his Bluegrass foundation. Paul Kovac – banjo\, vocal\, David Mayfield – mandolin\, vocal\, Ron Bonkowski – guitar\, vocal\, Alex Greathouse\, bass \nConcerts arranged in partnership with Roots of American Music\nWe nourish our neighborhoods with the transformative power of music through education and performance.\nRoots of American Music uses live music to educate\, inspire\, and comfort people in settings where exposure to music performance is limited or non-existent (music deserts). We serve Northeast Ohio citizens in K-12 schools\, residential communities serving seniors\, and assisted living communities serving the physically and mentally challenged.  www.rootsofamericanmusic.org
