HUB Garden Class: Plants for a Purpose
This class was postponed from June 27.
Plants make great food, but they’re not just for eating! We humans have plants to thank for everything from building materials to containers, art supplies, and—of course—medicine. Join us as we explore and (re)discover unique uses of garden plants.
This class will be held at the Melrose Medicinal Garden: 2647 Melrose Ave, 45206. At the CGC, we love taking our programs outside during the growing season. Nature makes a wonderful classroom! Our HUB Garden program brings classes and experiences around growing your own food to thriving community gardens in and around Cincinnati. We invite you to join us in celebrating these unique spaces as we learn together!
HUB Garden events are free and open to the public (registration is required). Parking information will be sent to registered participants in the days leading up to the event. In lieu of a ticket cost, please consider making a donation to support this program if you’re able. Thank you!
This class is sold out, but you can join the waitlist!
