We Dig Ohio, an annual one-day summit exploring urban agriculture and community gardening in the Ohio region, is happening this Saturday Mar 24 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Franklin Park Conservatory (1777 E Broad Street Columbus).

We Dig Ohio will give you an opportunity to expand your gardening expertise through panels of experts, educational sessions and hands-on workshops. This year’s We Dig Ohio Summit will have a strong emphasis on young gardeners, with the keynote presentation delivered by a panel of four accomplished young agriculturists ages 10-21.

Continuing the young gardeners theme, lunch will be prepared and served by the local youth gardening and culinary program, OSU Urban GEMS. The event also includes a sneak peek of the newly constructed Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden (opening to the public May 2018).
