SUMMARY:Nature-Based Mindful Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Learn to be more in the present moment and reduce stress and anxiety with evidenced-based practices that create better health\, foster more joy and creativity\, and help us come closer to the reciprocity we have with nature. \nWe all need to have internal tools to help us build and maintain mind-body resilience and joy for our health and to share our best selves with the world. Many of us also yearn to feel closer to nature and better appreciate the reciprocity we share with it. \nFor both beginners and those wishing to refresh their skills\, local mindfulness meditation teacher\, author\, and artist Cathy Sacco will explore nature-based mindfulness practices that can be incorporated into your everyday life. She’ll also discuss stress physiology\, the role of the senses\, and the benefits of self-compassion and gratitude. You’ll have the chance to experiment with guided meditation\, gentle mindful movement\, observation\, and art in nature\, and you’ll learn how to build a home practice right for you. \nMEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR: Cathy Cebulski Sacco is an experienced educator\, mindfulness meditation teacher\, author\, and artist working at the intersection of human development\, wellbeing\, and creativity. She is committed to helping people reduce stress and anxiety\, increase their mind-body resilience\, and live in the joy of the present moment. Cathy is a qualified teacher of the evidenced-based 8-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program through the Mindfulness Center at Brown University and UMass Memorial Medical Center where the program was created by Jon Kabat-Zinn and a certified Mindful Schools teacher.

SUMMARY:Native Plants for Migrating Birds
DESCRIPTION:Discover the incredible journeys of migratory birds and how to welcome them to your garden with plants they love! \nEvery backyard and greenspace has the potential to serve as a critical rest stop for migratory birds. By understanding plant-bird relationships\, we can provide the high-energy fuel birds need to survive their journeys. Whether you’re a homeowner\, community gardener\, greenspace steward\, or nature enthusiast looking to connect local plant choices with wildlife conservation\, this class is for you. \nWe’ll start by exploring what makes a bird migratory\, share an inspiring story of one specific bird’s journey\, and review a curated list of native plant partnerships. Along the way\, you’ll learn about the mechanics of seasonal migrations\, how to pair regional flora with the dietary and shelter needs of traveling birds\, and more. As the class comes to a close\, we’ll wrap up with a fun bird trivia quiz. Our goal is that you’ll leave feeling inspired and ready to install native plants in your space to attract and provide for more of the migratory birds that you’d like to see. \nFrom Luis\, your instructor for the class: “My connection to birding started in the Gulf Coast of Texas in 2016\, where I started out in wetland ecosystems. I often saw whooping cranes\, sandhill cranes\, painted buntings\, roseate spoonbills\, indigo buntings\, purple martins—the list goes on. Because of how hurricanes have impacted the area\, a lot of the natural coast in Texas has been chipped away\, removing critical native wildlife habitat. Around the world\, there are similar stories like this\, where environmental and anthropogenic events negatively affect the native wildlife. All of these stories inspire me to ask: What can we\, as native plant enthusiasts\, do to help support this cause in our own way?” \nINSTRUCTOR: Luis Aguilar-Dwyer (CGC Environmental Education Specialist)

SUMMARY:Monarchs\, Milkweed\, & more
DESCRIPTION:Join the CGC to learn to protect and monitor monarchs\, grow native milkweed\, and supercharge your backyard habitat—just in time for fall planting! \nLate August is a high-stakes window for breeding and migrating monarch populations. By understanding how you can best support this special species in your home\, school\, community\, or public greenspace\, you’re helping to increase urban biodiversity\, monitor local habitats\, and helping to provide immediate\, measurable lifelines for these endangered pollinators. \nAnd this issue is particularly timely. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed listing the Monarch butterfly under the Endangered Species Act\, but a final ruling is delayed. This means voluntary\, community-driven backyard habitats and local data collection are officially the most critical tools we have to protect them. This class is designed to teach you how to navigate this real-world conservation crisis right from your own neighborhood. \nWe’ll begin the class with an overview of monarch conservation and local milkweed varieties\, then explore a monarch monitoring and surveying method and community science projects. We hope you’ll leave feeling excited and fully prepared to kickstart or enhance a productive pollinator habitat in your own yard! \nINSTRUCTOR: Luis Aguilar-Dwyer (CGC Environmental Education Specialist)

SUMMARY:Homemade Soap with Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Want to reduce the number of chemicals in your cleaning routine? Rely less on processed products? Have a skin care routine that reflects your values? Take control cleaning supplies this year with your own handmade soap. Knowing how to blend your own soaps will open a new world of options. The ingredients you need might already be in your cupboard! \nThis hands-on workshop from the CGC will cover the basic process of making handmade soaps\, specifically incorporating oils infused from native plants. We’ll watch a demo of how to make cold process soap\, then make our own rebatch samples to take home. While our soaps solidify\, we’ll learn more about the native plants in them. You’ll leave with the skills to craft your own unique creations\, resources for next steps\, and a rebatch soap sample. \nThe workshop is geared toward beginners\, though those with experience are welcome to share their success stories. \nINSTRUCTORS: Mary Dudley (CGC Director of Education) & Stephanie Fransen (CGC Administrative & Facilities Manager)

SUMMARY:How to Build a Handwashing Station
DESCRIPTION:Handwashing reduces the spread of foodborne illnesses—and it begins right in the garden! It’s also a Good Agricultural Practice and essential for the safety of any garden space\, whether that’s a production business or a community\, school\, or backyard garden. \nJoin Nicole Gunderman from Hamilton County Conservation District at our CUF Restoration Site\, where she’ll share step-by-step instructions for making a DIY handwashing station using inexpensive materials. You’ll learn what supplies are needed to stock your station and how to site it at your garden\, farm\, market booth\, or roadside stand. \nIf you’re interested in selling your product to restaurants\, businesses\, institutions\, or food aggregation hubs\, you’ll need to be GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certified. This class will also provide a brief overview of what the GAP Certification process entails and how to get started if it’s something you are considering. (Spoiler alert: Having a handwashing system is a requirement of the GAP Certification Audit!) \nNote this class will be held offsite at the CUF Restoration site: 2774 W. McMicken Ave.! \nINSTRUCTOR: Nicole Gunderman (Hamilton County Conservation District Agricultural Specialist)

SUMMARY:2026 Hauck Concert Series: 7 Last Words for the Earth
DESCRIPTION:As Earth Day draws near\, join the Civic Garden Center for a two-part event examining the state of our planet and the roles we play as part of its rich and tightly woven tapestry. \nDuring the first half of the performance\, professional choral ensemble Heri et Hodie and recent CCM graduate percussionist Jacob Ottmer will present the world premiere of Canadian composer Andrew Staniland’s deeply moving “7 Last Words for the Earth.” Performed with non-traditional staging\, this concerto for women’s choir and percussion takes its name from the seven last words of Christ from the cross and sets an abstract text taken from a speech by Greta Thunberg. Through movements such as “Rage\,” “Secrets\,” “Rain\,” “Hope” and “Words\,” the piece urges us to pay attention while we still can. The performance will begin with a presentation about the music and its themes. \nWhen the final notes have faded\, we’ll hear from Mary Kroner\, who uses her thoughtful weaving of stories\, song and humor to open us to new ways of remembering that we are part of the natural world with vital roles to play. Hope comes from understanding our part in the working systems of our planet\, giving us a way to participate; teaching Reverence is an important goal. Mary’s original works “X Marks The Spot” and “Welcome to the Ever Rotating Constantly Changing Circulating Mystical Earth Pageant” are past offerings made at the CGC and other settings. \nBeer and wine will be available with a suggested donation. \nLearn more about the Hauck Concert Series: civicgardencenter.networkforgood.com/events/93788-the-2026-hauck-concert-series

SUMMARY:Navigating Nativars
DESCRIPTION:When does it make sense to use cultivars in your native plant garden? And what exactly is a nativar? The word is a mash-up of “native plant” and “cultivar\,” and it refers to a plant variety that has been selected for a particular set of traits. \nAre nativars bad or good? That all depends on who you ask! Nativars are a hot topic in the gardening world\, and we’re ready to dive in and decode exactly what makes these plants helpful or problematic. \nIn this class\, we’ll cover the current science on nativars’ impact on pollinators and some of our favorite varieties—as well as a few we recommend avoiding. Then we’ll take a tour around Hauck Botanic Garden to see some nativars growing in the landscape. You’ll leave with a better understanding of what these plants are and how you can make them work in your native plant garden. \nINSTRUCTOR: Julie Dennewitz (CGC Horticulturist) \nSee the full GrowFest lineup here: civicgardencenter.org/growfest

SUMMARY:GrowFest 2026: Soil Health for Gardeners
DESCRIPTION:Tired of doing everything right for your crops…but they still don’t seem happy? Then it’s time to dig deeper into the most important factor contributing to plant health: soil! \nThis class will demystify the subject of soil by exploring basic soil science and composition as it applies to the casual gardener and translating scientific horticultural concepts into usable\, actionable information. We’ll cover common problems with growing food in urban sites (such as soil quality and nutrition deficiencies) and demonstrate sustainable practices to overcome these challenges\, proving that agriculture can happen anywhere. We’ll also touch on non-soil growing (such as potting mix for containers). \nOur goal is that you’ll come to appreciate this most fundamental natural resource\, gain the skills to improve and conserve the soils of your own garden\, and feel confident in your ability to problem-solve your unique soil conditions. \nThis class is geared toward beginner to intermediate gardeners with a rudimentary understanding of soil. Having some baseline gardening knowledge will be helpful\, as some concepts will build on at least a basic understanding of plant biology and behavior. \nINSTRUCTOR: Jack Parlin (CGC Program Associate) \nCheck out the rest of the GrowFest lineup here: civicgardencenter.org/growfest
