Speakers: Pat Stidham and Greg Meyer

Gardening without a shovel simply means that nothing is planted in the ground. With our heavy clay soils in Southwestern Ohio, not only can this strategy be easier on your back, but it can also add many new and different design elements to your garden. Pat Stidham has been experimenting with this concept for many years and will share her gardens with you through pictures.

Gardening above the ground can also bring some unique challenges. Greg Meyer will provide some management tips to help you be successful with above ground gardening, including information about container and raised bed gardening.

This is the third of a 3-part series offered by the Warren County Master Gardener Association.
