Victorian Cottage Gardening: Tea and Talk

If you are an avid gardener, a beginner or just love beautiful gardens – this event is for you. Tour Blue Rock Station: First stop is a stroll around the grounds of Blue Rock Station – home of Ohio's first Earthship, an amazing home made of tires, cans, bottles and earth. During the summer there will be a variety of projects to view including a plastic bottle greenhouse and the espalier wall. You will tour the home for an insight into how this structure uses the sun and the earth (as well as various bits of "trash") to create a warm and welcoming home. Settle in for a light lunch: Then you will have a chance to get to know other guests while you sit down to a delicious lunch (made from local and BRS-grown produce) in the strawbale greenhouse overlooking the hills of southeastern Ohio. Then tea and a presentation: After dessert and a proper cup of tea, Annie Warmke will talk about different types of Victorian cottage gardens, and how to create one of your own.
