Spin gardening, rain barrels, rain gardens, city, state and national initiatives that are making a big difference in communities around the country. It’s expensive. $200 to $300. There are also side events happening in conjunction to this in the $20 to $30 price range, Check their website out for more details. OSU had there first farm market on Kenny road in Upper Arlington. Bravo to them. They also got a good article in the Columbus Dispatch on Wed to help them kick off this new venture which created a High school/ college collaboration which could set some precedents for all land grant colleges around the country. Just a quick note for now. karen
