Native Garden Workshop & Book Club

Just because the soil is resting doesn’t mean we have to! Join us this winter while we learn about native plants and help each other plan for spring. We will be reading New York Times bestseller Nature’s Best Hope by famed entomologist and conservationist Doug Tallamy. Along with our reading discussion, we will also provide practical hands-on help and how-to workshops for those interested in supporting biodiversity on their own properties. If you are interested in learning more about the wildlife in Worthington in a fun, low pressure environment, this event is for you.

Event kick-off: Tuesday, January 21st @ 7:00 pm (we will meet every other Tuesday thru April 15th - 2/4, 2/18, 3/4, 3/18 & 4/1)

Location: COhatch Worthington - The Hardware Store, 659 High Street, Worthington
