Spring ephemerals are some of our most unique and beautiful native flowers, but because they’re often small and last for just a few weeks in the early spring, they’re easy to overlook. This class will explore our most common spring ephemeral species. You’ll learn about their seed dispersal mechanisms, the important ecological niche they occupy and where the best spots are to see these amazing flowers in the Cincinnati region.
We’ll start indoors with a lecture, then head outside for a walk around the Civic Garden Center to see some natives in the landscape (weather permitting). Our goal is that you leave inspired to learn more about the beauty of native plants and how to incorporate them into your own yard.
Presenter: Sam Settlemyre, CGC Conservation Program Manager
Cost: $10 / $5 for active CGC volunteers
