• Gardening Events: Columbus OH Late Summer 2009

    by  • July 3, 2009 • Gardening & Pets • 0 Comments

    There are several growing events happening around central Ohio in July, August, and September

    *Ohio Farm Bureau Grow And Know Seminar is July 18 at the Bob Evans center in Rio Grande.  Topics from bees to mulch.  Registration closes July 6.  $25 members, $85 non members.

    *The American Community Garden Association is holding their annual conference at the Franklin Park Conservatory this year August 6 – 9.  Early registration ends July 6.  Full conference cost is $200 members, $250 non members.  I’m considering going to the Saturday only, which is $100.

    *Franklin Park Conservatory also offers weekend gardening programs.  They are $15 per session.  The most recent Franklin Park newsletter suggested they are starting a certificate program, which I inquired about but haven’t heard back any details.  At any rate, upcoming classes are:

    July 18 10:30 – 12 – wise water use

    August 1 10 – 11 planning your fall garden

    September 19 10 – 11 putting your garden to bed

    *Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association (OEFFA) is offering a whole series of farm tours and workshops around the state.  I will be attending the Beekeeping workshop Sept. 13 for sure.  I have this crazy idea that we might try an urban hive next spring.

    *September 11 – 13 is the Franklin Park Conservatory Field to Table event.  There’s a wicked expensive dinner ($300 per person?!) on Friday night and a details-to-be-added festival Saturday and Sunday.

    If I missed any sustainable gardening events, please comment and let me know.
