Workshops & Support
There are a lot of details to consider when planning your garden. Learn from Mary's decades of experience to get off to a great start! Mary offers free classes at the Westwood library (see calendar) and she can tailor consultations, workshops and support to your unique needs.

Youth Education
We partner with Gamble Montessori Elementary, Little Schoolhouse in the Woods, Westwood UMC Preschool, Cincinnati Urban Promise and Third Presbyterian church to share free lessons on natural resources and urban agriculture with their students!
​
These programs are financially assisted by the Frank J Kloenne & Jacqueline D Kloenne Foundation, Fifth Third Bank, N.A., Trustee and the Greater Cincinnati Foundation.
Seed & Plant Donations
We love sharing seeds and plants with our neighbors. Find us at a volunteer workday, the Westwood Public Library during our monthly workshops or email us to request seeds. Have seeds or plants to share? Let's swap! Get in touch by sending an email to: westwoodgrows@gmail.com
​
Our seed and plant donations are made possible through funding provided by Westwood Works.
Neighborhood Networking
Each summer we co-host a FREE walking tour to highlight some of the amazing gardens in Westwood. Thanks so much to those of you who came out to enjoy the day. Stay tuned for details for 2025.
