Who's growing food in urban neighborhoods in Cincinnati? What birds live around, say, Pleasant St. and Green St.? Join gardeners in OTR to tour five community gardens and hear from the CHPL Bird Nerds' Lea Schull! You'll see how OTR residents nurture nature, grow food and connect with neighbors in an urban environment. You'll get to meet longtime garden coordinators and leave feeling inspired by the possibilities to grow your own food in an urban setting.
