About the Event
Tour of Meadow City Native Plant Nursery with its co-founders
Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour of Meadow City Native Plant Nursery in Cleveland's Waterloo Arts District. Co-owner Julie Slater is a DesNet member. Meadow City grows native plants at their retail location, which they established just last year on a Cleveland vacant lot. Their wide selection of native plants is grown from seeds they hand-collect from wild populations in Northeast Ohio. They currently focus on herbaceous perennials, but a recent expansion will allow them to grow trees and shrubs in earnest. We will be getting a tour from the three co-founders: Julie, Alyssa, and Dave, who met while studying Environment and Natural Resources at Ohio State. They will share their native "soft landings" garden, demonstrate what goes into growing healthy tree roots, and give us a peek into their wild seed collection process.
