Presented by Bryna Bass, MEd

Glenna Baumbaugh 0 9351 Article rating: 4.3

From the ground level, Rothenberg Preparatory Academy in Over-the-Rhine seems surrounded by a dense forest of brick and concrete surfaces. Yet, a bird’s eye view reveals that ornamental flowers, fruits and vegetables flourish on the roof of this historic elementary school building, serving as a source of beauty and learning for students. The program will discuss the inspiration, design, and creation of the garden and its curricular connections, with participants discovering how the garden both enriches academic programming and enhances the unique urban community of Over-The-Rhine.

Container Gardening

Presented by Susan Rahn

Glenna Baumbaugh 0 7935 Article rating: No rating

 Ms. Rahn will share with us the secrets to successful container gardening. It is fun, easy and relaxing to garden in containers. Almost all plants can be grown in containers: pots, baskets, urns; all shapes and sizes. Vegetables, annuals, and perennials can still be yours without laboring in a garden bed. She will discuss which plants do well in this environment, watering needs, and when we can start these gardens.

 Ms. Cindy Browne                                                                             Chairman of the Day
