Bringing Nature Home: Right Plant, Right Place - Postponed

Learn how to select the appropriate native plants for your yard in this free Bringing Nature Home talk presented by Nick Mikash of the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes.

This year, Friends of Lower Lake and Doan Brook Watershed Partnership will once again host a series of talks on native plants and sustainable gardening leading up to Ohio’s first ever Native Plant Month in April.

The Bringing Nature Home speaker series will journey from the tree canopy to the shrub layer to the ground layer for a holistic look at what makes up a healthy habitat in our public and private green spaces. Our tagline, “It’s About Time,” reflects the urgency of restoring our urban habitat to a healthy one as well as how the sequence of plant life supports insects and birds throughout the growing season
