The stars of our next EPN Event are Wild Bergamot, Big Blue Stem, Echinacea, Little Blue Stem, Dogbane, Switch Grass, Milkweed, and Black-eyed Susan! Drawing upon art, environmental science and several immersive learning sites, experience these nine native Ohio prairie grass seeds in a manner that you have never before through a single, one-time event in Westerville.

You will leave this three-hour, in-person only program with a deeper appreciation of prairie landscapes in the rapidly developing central Ohio area. You will build your network of fellow environmental professionals and natural resource enthusiasts supporting and advancing various regional ecological preservation activities.
