You’ll be able to buy plants and get expertise from the CGC as well as the Cincinnati Nature Center, Keystone Flora, Natives in Harmony, Native Roots, Junebug Native Plants, Wild Heart Gardens, Treeyo Permaculture and Green Living by Design and more!
Our Fall Native Plant Festival includes local growers, educational sessions, live music, food and drinks, family-friendly activities and more. To stay in the loop, sign up for our bi-monthly newsletter:
