Our chapter meets the second Tuesday of the month October - April, 7:00pm at the Toledo Botanical Gardens Conference Center. For directions and such, please see Toledo Garden website.

We also have various nature hikes, education and outreach programs going on during the growing season at places to be determined all over NW Ohio. These take place on the second Saturday of the month from May to September.

This is the fun we have planned for this summer:

June 14, 9 a.m. Kitty Todd Preserve
Kitty Todd has all sorts of blooms on right now, and if we are lucky we might still catch the lupine! Bring bugspray and wear your boots, it can be wet and buggy!

July 12, 9 a.m. Sylvania Site Tour
Starting at Olander park we will look at the native plant garden installations and then head over to their restoration site to check out an extremely diverse site for it's location and size. To top off the day we will be heading over to the Stranahan Arboretum to check out the garden that Heather Carter has been working on for the last several years.

August 9, Blue Creek Metropark (tentative)
Plans are not final yet, but we were looking at getting a tour of the Metroparks native plant nursery from Penny Wagner and then cooking out for dinner. This will be confirmed very soon.

September 13, Seed Collecting, 9 a.m.
The site has yet to be determined, but we will spend our morning collecting seed for use in projects either at Olander or at Metroparks. Always a very fun and social activity.

If you would like to recieve reminders for our activities and info about other stuff going on in the area relating to natives, please let us know the email address to be added to our blind copy email distribution list.

For questions or other information, please contact Erika Buri by e-mail or via phone at(419)882-8313 ext. 29.

Hope to see you out!
