Planting, Transplanting Workshop Set For May 18 at Secrest Arboretum
Learn before you dig, says Ken Cochran, curator of Ohio State University’s Secrest Arboretum. And on Tuesday, May 18, he’ll help you do it. He’ll co-lead a Planting and Transplanting Workshop that looks at best practices and shows how to do them.
Trees, shrubs, and herbaceous annuals and perennials are the focus, and hands-on practice is the rule of the day.
“We’ll cover the what, when, where and how of planting and transplanting successfully,” Cochran said.
Registration costs $50 and is limited to the first 12 people. Call 330-464-2148 to sign up and for more information. Hours are 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Dress for the weather.
Joe Cochran (no relation), the arboretum’s program coordinator, will serve as the other instructor.
Secrest Arboretum is part of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center (OARDC), 1680 Madison Ave., in Wooster.
Meet at the arboretum’s Seaman Orientation Plaza, 1.7 miles from the main campus entrance.
OARDC is the research arm of Ohio State’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.
