Cincinnati Nature Center continues to expand its native plant programming so that our community can grow in support of healthy biodiversity. 2025 will be our 6th year offering private garden tours across our region, in an effort to shine light on how native plants can create glorious residential landscapes. We are thankful for our featured gardeners each year, whose creations range from woodland restorations to gardens that have been lovingly tended for multiple decades.
In addition to the annual Garden Tour, the native plant initiatives at the Nature Center include our Native Plant Club, a spring ephemeral propagation project, and our newly established Krippendorf Arboretum. Many new native plant enthusiasts are expanding their knowledge via our Native Plants 101 online course. Your Cincinnati Nature Center membership includes benefits to all these programs, and more!
