Join us as we visit One Earth Collaborative Sanctuary in Oregonia, Ohio, right along the Little Miami River. Our host Ryan Cappo has a design for a "beautiful, thoughtfully arranged, organic perennial berry + herb garden" by designer Lauren Craig of Humble Hive Consulting in Dayton and has been working on implementing its starting phases at the sanctuary. The design includes sheet mulched space, walkways, strawberry borders, and berry trellises, with plantings of bee balm, blackberries, blueberries, chives, lavender, lemon balm, raspberries, sage, thyme, and yarrow.

During this Implementation Day, we will be helping Ryan install the berry trellises and plant the berries in an area he has already prepared with sheet mulch. We can also show you some of the other installations in progress at One Earth Collaborative, including the vegetable and herb gardens, the kids garden, and forest paths with wild flora to forage.

Implementation Days are free and open to current and former PDC students. Events may be canceled in event of inclement or unsafe weather. Please check your email for updates in advance.
