Many of these woodland plants bloom for only a short time each year\, making them easy to miss if you do not know where or when to look. \nAlong the way\, participants will learn how these early spring flowers thrive in the forest ecosystem and why their brief blooms play an important role in the landscape. While we cannot predict exactly which species will be in bloom\, a peaceful walk through the woods and the chance to discover seasonal wildflowers make for a rewarding morning outdoors. \nGeneral Information\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvance registration is required; space is limited\nAdult tickets are available\nChild tickets (ages 5–17) must be purchased with a participating adult\nCost: $1 per person\nClosed-toed shoes are required\nShoes and clothing may get wet and dirty\nBring a filled water bottle if desired\nNo strollers permitted\nNo pets allowed (ADA Certified Service Animals only)\nGreenacres Foundation is privately operated; all guests must be accompanied by a Greenacres representative at all times.\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease dress for the weather and prepare for potentially muddy conditions.

But what if your goal is to build fertility through organic soil amendments and a deeper understanding of soil biology? \nJoin us for an evening workshop exploring alternative soil testing methods\, including the Haney Test and Phospholipid Fatty Acid (PLFA) analysis. These tools offer valuable insight into soil microbial communities\, nutrient cycling\, and overall soil health. We will walk through how to administer these tests\, discuss associated costs\, and examine how results can inform practical\, on-farm management decisions. \nAs part of the workshop\, participants will visit the Ley Field\, Greenacres’ production garden\, to see soil health principles in action and connect testing insights to real-world application. \nSpeakers include:\n\n\n\n\n\nNicole Gunderman\, MA\, Agriculture Specialist\, Hamilton County Conservation District\nDan Borrenpohl\, Research Manager\, Greenacres Foundation\nChad Gibson\, Research Field Coordinator\, Greenacres Foundation\n\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop is geared toward farmers and producers\, though all are welcome to attend.\n \nPizza will be provided. Registration is limited. \nPlease RSVP to reserve your spot.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”29426″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nGeneral Information\n\n\n\n\n\nAdvance registration is required; space is limited\nNo pets allowed (ADA-certified service animals only)\nNo strollers permitted\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions?\nFor questions about this event\, please call (513) 891-4227 ext.3 or email events@green-acres.org.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

Did you know you can contribute to real atmospheric science while doing it? \nJoin us to learn about community science and how everyday observations can support real research. During this program\, we will explore the GLOBE Observer: Clouds project\, practice observing and identifying clouds outdoors\, and learn how to record observations using a NASA-supported app. Participants will also create a simple cloud-viewing window craft to take home and continue their observations. \nThis event is best suited for adult community members and families with children in 3rd grade and above (ages 8+). \nWhat is GLOBE Observer?\nGLOBE Observer: Clouds is a mobile app sponsored by NASA that allows participants to document the clouds they see in the sky. \nSatellites orbiting Earth collect cloud data from above. When scientists combine that information with ground observations submitted by community scientists\, they gain a more complete understanding of cloud patterns and atmospheric conditions around the world. \nYour observations help support real scientific research. \nGeneral Information\n\n\n\n\n\nCost: $1 per person\nAdvance registration is required.
