Come join us June 2nd at 1100 S. Detroit Street from 9-10:30am for The Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz!

The Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz is a Community Science Program that tracks the abundance and species richness of lady beetles across the state of Ohio. Unfortunately, many species of lady beetles have declined dramatically in recent decades, and we are monitoring the abundances of remaining populations.

We first conducted our survey from 2009-2015 and would like to resample lady beetle populations 10 years later to see how they have changed.

Our program seeks volunteers who have a home garden (either a flower or food garden) that would be willing to collect lady beetles using a yellow sticky card trap in this garden over two weeks this summer (one week in June and August).

Workshop participants will learn about the results of our initial survey and be provided with the tools and training needed to contribute to the 2025 survey.

Good Morning Everyone!

Please come join us at Sweet Aromas from 2-3pm to discuss garden updates, horticultural programming, future volunteer opportunities, and more!

P.s. Enjoy this beautiful Echinacea cultivar!

Our Biocontrol of the Month is the marigold! While the ability of marigolds to deter aboveground pests isn't clearly backed up by scientific research (despite being a common piece of gardener lore), we do know that they can prevent nematode damage. The roots of the marigold exude a chemical that actually stops nematode eggs from hatching! Check out the link for more information: https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/NG045
