Hardin County The Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer program in Hardin County has planned three educational workshops throughout the summer.

The first workshop will be held June 16 which will be all about oak trees and celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States of America. There will be a dedication of the oak trees planted in the garden and talks by the Division of Forestry and the Master Gardener Volunteer Program. Refreshments will also be provided.

The second workshop will be held July 21 and will feature education presentations on native plants. Participants will learn what native plants are, why they are important, why they should be planted, and how to incorporate them into their own landscapes.

The final workshop in the series will be on companion planting which is a practice of planting various plants together that mutually benefit each other.

These events are free and open to anyone with an interest in learning more about these topics.

Questions about the programs can be directed to the Ohio State University Extension office in Hardin County at 419-767-6041 or baumer.15@osu.edu.
