SUMMARY:Native Plant Container Workshop with Avonlea Nursery
DESCRIPTION:Native Plant Container Workshop with Avonlea Nursery \nTuesday\, September 30 from 6-7:30 PM $30 per person \nAre you spending money every year on annual plants that don’t truly serve our pollinators? Bring nature to your porch\, balcony or patio with native perennial containers. Though winter is coming\, this workshop will teach you how to keep your plants alive through winter and teach you how to pick the right plants for your location. You’ll also learn how to arrange them for the best appearance. With a little care\, many native perennials will return in the spring\, meaning you don’t have to buy plants again each year. \nFor $30 each registrant receives soil\, three native perennial plants and a generic container liner. Feel free to bring your own decorative pot (12” suggested)\, additional plants can be purchased a la carte. \nREGISTER: https://givebutter.com/native-plant-container-9-30-25

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL PUBLIC LANDS DAY\nSaturday\, September 27 | 10AM–1PM | Meet at NCSL \nRegister at: https://dbwp.org/event/grow-not-mow/  \nPresented by Bartlett Tree Experts\, this volunteer workday celebrating National Public Lands Day will again be a collaborative event sponsored by the City of Shaker Heights\, The Doan Brook Watershed Partnership and the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes.  \nWe are calling for volunteers of all ages to join us in planting more native trees and plants and removing invasives at this site adjacent to the Doan Brook. This is our third season of extending this area of woodland and underplanting it with a meadow. A planned NEORSD project will remove a concrete stepped culverted area of the Doan Brook impeding fish passage. This will enable Nature Center Natural Resource Specialists and volunteers to remove invasive vines proliferating along the banks of the Doan Brook.  \nAll volunteers should come dressed for the weather. Tools and gloves will be provided. Families and volunteers of all ages are welcome! Pizza and refreshments provided for all volunteers!  \n  \nAbout Grow Not Mow  \nGrow Not Mow is a community program powered by volunteers like you and championed by the City of Shaker Heights. With this program\, we hope to restore and enhance biodiversity in the floodplain of the Doan Brook to make it a better habitat for pollinators\, wildlife\, and people while also reducing the land area that is mowed. Our plantings will also help to absorb\, filter stormwater runoff and prevent soil erosion\, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with mowing.
