Winter Landscaping Series
With this landscaping series, GIAC Education Director and former landscaper Chris Kline will take you from start to finish in redesigning your home landscape. The time for each class is 2:00 – 4:00 PM and cost for each session is $10 for GIAC members and $15 for non-members. Or better yet, attend the entire series for $30 for members and $45 for non-members.
January 30 – Landscaping Basics
This session will focus on the basics including proper planting techniques, proper placement of plants, soil recommendations, and other valuable information.
February 6 – Landscaping with Natives
For every exotic species that you place in your landscape there is a native that can provide equivalent color, shade, wildlife value, and beauty. This session focuses on working with those natives.
February 13 – Landscaping for Wildlife
Landscaping can be a collection of plants or creation of a habitat. Learn how you can add beauty and color to your landscape by incorporating birds, butterflies, dragonflies, and other jewels.
February 27 – Designing your Home Landscape
Bring a map or photo of your yard as we sit down and plan out your new habitat. Have some ideas in mind for the look and purpose you are hoping to achieve in your new yard.
Conservation Boot Camp
The Grange Insurance Audubon Center is more than a pretty place. A portion of our mission is to return our site, as well as central Ohio, to the beauty it once was. In this series of classes we will walk you through the habitat conservation process. The time for each class is 2:00 – 4:00 PM and cost for each session is $10 for GIAC members and $15 for non-members.
January 23 – Recognizing the Invader
Many invasive, non-native, plant and animal species call central Ohio home. These invaders have flourished at the expense of our native plant and animals. This session will focus on recognizing these invasive species.
February 20 – Defeating the Invader
Now that we know who the invaders are and what they look like, how do we go about eliminating them? There is a strategy, and this session will teach you the strategy to deal with each of our primary invasive species.
March 20 – Deploying Allies
To successfully eliminate the invaders from our landscape we will need the help of our allies. Learn about the role native plants play in this battle for territory.
Storytime - Saturdays and Sundays 11AM
Younger members of the family will especially enjoy themselves as we combine a storybook from our library with a walk, art project, or puppet show. Admission is FREE.
Winter Hike Series - Sundays 1PM
Join us as we investigate what’s stirring on the Whittier Peninsula during the winter months. Bring binoculars and hand lenses if you have them! Admission is FREE.
