2010 Winter Seminar Series
Please note that seminars start at 12:00, not 11:00 as in the past...

January 30
Lovely Lavender
Speaker: Jody Byrne, DayBreak Lavender Farm
In the mid 1990’s, Jody began growing organic lavender on her farm tucked in the rolling hills of Streetsboro, Ohio right next door to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. She quickly found that there is nothing lavender cannot do and we’ll explore it all in this fun, interactive class. Jody will discuss the basics such as planting, care, harvesting and pruning as well as using lavender in cooking, relaxation oils, crafting and home keeping.

February 6
Herbs for Flavor, Fitness & Fragrance
Speaker: Kathleen Gips, Village Herb Shop
Enjoy Kathleen’s most popular program. Class will receive tips on growing and using herbs for cooking, aromatherapy, home cleaning, teas, bath products and moth chasers. Kathleen has been growing, studying and writing about herbs for over 25 years. Her areas of herbal knowledge include aromatherapy, herbal skin care, and essential oils, as well as culinary, horticultural and historical uses. She is the owner of the Village Herb Shop in Chagrin Falls as well as a member of the Western Reserve Unit of the Herb Society of America and the Greater Cleveland Botanical Garden.

February 13
Small Fruits & Fruit Trees
Speaker: Tom Dayton, Dayton Nursery
Not only can small fruits be used to make tasty treats, but many plants have great ornamental value as a shade or screen plant in the home landscape.  They take up very little space and are relatively low maintenance.  Besides their great taste, many fruits are quite nutritious, contributing many vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants to the diet.  Tom will discuss growing, harvesting and general care of plants such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, elderberries, currants, gooseberries, grapes, rhubarb, horseradish, quince and fruit trees.  In addition, Tom will address the topic of specific small fruit cultivars and their benefits as it relates to fruit production, disease and insect resistance and first and foremost – taste!


February 20
Made in the Shade
Speaker: Megan Vance, Master Gardener & owner of Suzanne Jardin Garden Design
Megan’s years of experience in planting and landscape design will help you garden in not just shade, but different amounts of shade: partial or dappled shade, medium shade and dense shade. Site and soil conditions must also be identified for matching the desired site to appropriate plant options. This talk will concentrate on perennials and annuals but a selection of shrubs, bulbs and ground covers will also be discussed.

February 27
Presidential Trees
Speaker: Michele Riley, Eberhardt Landscaping
Presidential Trees will take us on a journey, engaging our minds to explore trees as a common thread that tie past presidents to current.  A slide show will discuss specific species, their cultivations and habits.  Join us to find how trees strengthen our environment, save us money and bring us together as a community!   Michelle is a graduate of Kent State with a triple associate major in landscape design, turf grass management and arboriculture.  She has been with Eberhardt Landscaping for the last 8 years as their horticulturist and design/sales account manager.

March 6
Backyard Bird Watching
Speaker: Joyce Pelz, Akron Audobon Society
Many bird species supplement their diets with seed, suet, fruit and nectar obtained from our backyard feeders.  Bird feeding can not only benefit birds, but also provides a way for you to enjoy local wildlife. Joyce, a conservation chair for the Greater Akron Audubon Society, will explore feeder types that will attract a wide range of birds to your yard, discover the best food choices for a successful feeding program, and how to provide a safe and clean environment for wild birds.  These tips will help you create a backyard habitat that will attract the birds you enjoy!
