MUSICAL GEM B1

The Forest-Aires women’schorus is celebrating its 50thanniversary.

Anderson Township officialsare still hammering out contractdetails to keep sheriff’s deputiesin the community.

As part of the 2012 county gen-eral fund budget, the HamiltonCounty Board of Commissionersslashed $4 million from the sher-iff’s patrol program, and used $2million from the county reservesto subsidize sheriff’s deputies intownships for eight months to al-low time for new negotiations.

But in January HamiltonCounty Sheriff Simon Leis sent aletter to township officials thatstated the county commissionersplanned to eliminate funding for65 non-contract patrol officersand communities would have tostart picking up the tab thisspring.

Anderson Township Adminis-trator Vicky Earhart said they’vebeen given additional time for ne-gotiations and she expects thetrustees to make a decision at theApril19 meeting. The letter origi-nally gave an April 1 deadline toall Hamilton County townships.

A recent report indicated thatthe sheriff’s office would pay forhalf of Anderson Township’s non-contract patrols, but Earhart saidnothing has been finalized.

“The sheriff misspoke to somedegree because … the board hasnot made a decision,” she said.“We’re still in negotiations, andwe have not committed to any-thing yet.”

Anderson Township has 11non-contract deputies in addition

to the 25 officers required by thecontract between the HamiltonCounty Sheriff’s Office and An-derson Township.

The trustees’ expected deci-sion date also falls close to the an-ticipated completion of a feasibil-ity study about Anderson Town-ship forming its own police de-partment. Officials have beenworking with Northern Ken-tucky University on the study,which will focus on operatingcosts and needs for a typical year.

Earhart said that study shouldbe finished by the end of May.

Township officials are also re-

searching costs and benefits ofstaying with the Sheriff’s Officeor forming a joint police districtwith neighboring communities.

Fourteen percent – or 22 ofHamilton County’s 150 patrol of-ficers – will disappear from coun-ty streets in April because thetownships where those deputieswork can’t afford them.

Leis detailed the loss at a re-cent county commissioners staffmeeting, and said “there is noquestion” he is concerned thatfewer officers on county streetswill jeopardize safety.

“I don’t like it, but I have been

given instructions from the com-missioners,” Leis said.

The county-provided patrolshave long been controversial be-cause every taxpayer in Hamil-ton County chips in for those freepatrols, but three-fourths ofcounty taxpayers also pay fortheir own police departments.

Surrounding counties and oth-er urban counties across the statehave long required townships topay for patrols.

By 2015, Leis said all county-provided patrols will end.

Sharon Coolidge contributed tothis story.

Anderson Twp., sheriffstill negotiating patrolsBy Lisa [email protected]

MT. WASHINGTON — The Mt.Washington Community Councilapproved a budget this year thatincludes replacing a chain-linkcemetery fence, buying smokedetectors and funding a portionof the annual Independence DayParade.

Council approved the budgetduring the March communitycouncil meeting.

Council projects income of$8,700 for 2012 from member-ship, donations and communitynewsletter sponsors.

Additional funding comesfrom the Wendy’s Burger Bashevents in the community as wellas Neighborhood Support Pro-gram funding from Cincinnati.

Council approved a numberof different projects for fundingthis year. These include the

fence at Mt.Washington Cem-etery ($2,500),the communitynewsletter($2,400), insur-ance coverage($1,500) and fund-ing for the annualPumpkin Chuck

at Stanbery Park ($1,300). Someof these projects, such as thePumpkin Chuck, will be support-ed using funds provided by thecity of Cincinnati.

Board President Jake Wil-liams said an effort will also bemade to procure grant funding ifpossible.

In addition to the cemeteryfencing, new items this year in-clude funding that would be giv-en to Mt. Washington AmericanLegion Post 484 for the Fourth ofJuly parade, and smoke detec-tors for the Cincinnati Fire De-

partment.Total projected expenses are

estimated at $10,535.Williams said the Mt. Wash-

ington Community Council cur-rently has $14,823 in assets andsavings, which is separate fromthe anticipated revenue. Wil-liams said this money is avail-able to help cover overage costsif necessary.

“We are comfortable with theamount we have in savings andtotal assets,” he said. “(Councilmembers) feel like we’ve done agood job of saving for larger ex-penditures.”

The Mt. Washington Commu-nity Council also approved sev-eral projects for CommunityPriority Requests funding pro-vided by Cincinnati.

Although this funding is notguaranteed, communities cansubmit several project ideas.

These projects are typically

centered around preservationand/or revitalization of a neigh-borhood.

Suggestions can range fromaesthetic improvements to qual-ity of life enhancements.

Board member Rob Hayessaid the Mt. Washington Com-munity Council board recom-mended replacement of a por-tion of fencing around the Mt.Washington Cemetery. Replace-ment of the cemetery fencing isbeing implemented in sections.

Other project recommenda-tions were street rehabilitationand resurfacing and improve-ments to Glade Avenue, whichcouncil board members havesaid is starting to pose a safetyissue because of continuedcrumbling.

Council approved these rec-ommendations, which will nowbe submitted to the city for fund-ing approval.

ANDERSON TWP — . A localchurch is ready to unveil to thepublic its first major renova-tion in more than 50 years.

Anderson Hills UnitedMethodist Church, 7515 ForestRoad, recently completed amultiphase upgrade to its pre-school and Sunday schoolclassrooms, fellowship halland sanctuary.

In the fellowship hall,where contemporary servicesare held, the stage was reori-ented to add additional seating.It now accommodate 600 peo-ple, said Betsy Eicher, projectmanager for the renovations.

“It’s fantastic for us,” shesaid. “Now everyone can seethe stage and the flow is muchbetter.”

Senior Pastor Mark Row-land said it was an importantchange because the churchwasapproachingnearly80per-cent occupancy during theSunday morning service.

In addition to the fellowshiphall, Rowland said they also re-

modeled the classrooms forSunday school and preschool,making the rooms more child-friendly and colorful.

Eicher said that section ofthe building can also beblocked off to make it more se-cure for the children.

The sanctuary at AndersonHills United Methodist Churchalso received a facelift with

new paint, upgraded technol-ogy and refinished pews.

But one of the biggest im-provements is the expandedpipe organ.

The church used its pipesplus others from several usedorgans to construct a new or-gan that was customized to fitin the sanctuary, Rowland said.

It has 54 ranks, or groupings

of sound, and Eicher said it has3,300 pipes, making it one ofthe biggest in the area.

“Every one is utilized,” shesaid of the organ’s pipes. Rightnow, it’s being voiced, or tuned,to make sure each pipe has theperfect pitch and tone.

The community is invited tosee the renovations during theEaster Sunday service, April 8.

Eicher said they’re alsoplanning a few choral eventsthroughout the spring that willculminate in a re-dedication onSunday, May 20.

Overall, Rowland said theresponse has been very posi-tive and the renovations allowthe church to serve more peo-ple from the surrounding area.

“It’s all about the communi-ty,” he said of the changes.

“There will be a benefit forour members, but it’s really tomake an impact and make adifference in the community.”

ANDERSON TWP. — Two police agen-cies worked together to quickly trackdown and arrest a suspect in a bankrobbery March 26.

Kevin Bockelman, 23, faces onecount of robbery. Court records list hisaddress in Hamilton.

Authorities said good investigativework led to Bockelman being identi-fied as the person who they allegerobbed the Key Bank at 8601 Beech-mont Ave. The robbery was reportedat 12:30 p.m.; Bockelman was arresteda little more than two hours later.

Police said the man shown in sur-veillance camera photos approached amale teller and demanded cash. Theteller complied and the suspect fled onfoot. The suspect neither displayednor implied he had a weapon.

Officers from Clermont County’sUnion Township and Hamilton Countysheriff’s detectives found Bockelmanwhen they converged on an apartmentat the Piccadilly Square complex inUnion Township.

Bockelman’s fingerprints matchedthose on the note and he later admittedto the offense, according to an affida-vit signed by sheriff’s Detective An-drew Guy.

A grand jury report is scheduledfor Thursday, April 5.

This same Key Bank was robbed inmid-January, and police charged IkelRaisor, of Bethel, with aggravated rob-bery.

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP— A local organizationwants to save a historicchurch.

The Five Mile ChapelSociety has organized a“Sip to Shore Shindig” 7-10p.m. Saturday, April 14, atthe Anderson Center, 7850Five Mile Road.

The event will featurelive music, a silent auctionand raffle. Refreshmentswill also be available.

The society, which be-gan operation of the Five

Mile Chapel in 1980, hopesto raise enough money torestore an access/serviceroad to the church. Theroad has been crumblingdue to erosion in recentyears and as a result accessto the church has been re-stricted for safety reasons.

The group has been un-successful in obtainingfederal funds to restore theroad, although the Ander-son Township Board ofTrustees recently agreedto commit up to $24,500 torepair a portion of the roadthat is in the township rightof way.

However, even with thisfunding a significant por-tion of the road will stillneed to be repaired. Mem-bers of the society said anestimate last year was itwould cost from $40,000 to$50,000 to repair. Furthererosion will likely damagethe retaining wall as well.

“(We’re) taking it upon

ourselves to save a locallandmark,” said DonHogue, a secretary for theFive Mile Chapel Society.

The last traditional ser-vice at the church, whichwas built in 1844 and is list-ed in the National Registerof Historic Places, was in1960.

The church still re-

mained open for weddings,socials and other events,but even those werestopped in June 2011 be-cause of the deterioratingroad condition.

“We can’t use (thechurch) right now,” saidHogue.

Norm Kjos, a trustee forthe Five Mile Chapel Soci-ety, was married in thechurch in 2001. “It’s a partof Anderson Township,” hesaid.

Sip to Shore coordinatorRenita Homan agreed. “Weneed to preserve it,” shesaid. “We need to save ourhistory.”

Homan said she hopesthe event also raisesawareness about the cha-pel.

The event will featurelive music by AnnetteShepherd.

The silent auction willinclude a variety of itemsranging from gift basketsto Rookwood pottery. Apew from the chapel willeven be among the auctionitems.

Tickets for the event are$50 per person.

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP —The Forest Hills Local SchoolDistrict is expanding a laptopprogram to include the highschools.

As part of the “PowerUp”initiative, students at Ander-son and Turpin high schoolswill have an opportunity tobring in their own laptops.

This is a continuation of a pi-lot project introduced at NagelMiddle School in January 2011.As part of the“Partnershipfor PowerfulLearning” ini-tiative, seventh-graders at themiddle schoolcould bring intheir own lap-tops.

With the suc-cess of this initiative, the pro-gram was expanded to includethe eighth-grade.

During the March board ofeducation meeting, membersapproved a bid for ForwardEdge to begin installing thetechnology infrastructure atthe high schools to accommo-date this initiative.

The bid was for $119,655.This will be a budgeted ex-pense from the district’s gen-eral fund.

It’s putting technology inthe hands of students and pre-paring them for jobs in the fu-ture, said Christine McCor-mick, director of technologyand information services forthe district.

McCormick said about 64percent of the students at Na-gel have access to their ownlaptops. The district also haslaptops available for studentsto use.

McCormick said the districtis working with the ForestHills Foundation to obtain ad-ditional laptops.

Board member RandySmith asked about teacher pre-paredness for the “PowerUp”initiative.

Summer workshops will beoffered and time has been al-lotted for discussion of the lap-tops at staff developmentmeetings, according to ConnieLippowitsch, director of in-structional services.

Additionally, during the lastseveral years the district hasprovided teacher training onincorporating technology intothe curriculum.

“This is one of those thingsthat will put Forest Hills at theforefront of technology,” saidSmith.

Local girls head to diamond foranother stellar season of softball.Here’s how this year’s teams lookgoing into the season:

AndersonThe Lady Redskins should field

an enthusiastic group in 2012.Despite a limited turnout, head

coach Nicole Kinney-Bass is excit-ed about her current crop of play-ers.

“We built the strongest varsityteam we have had in years aroundathleticism and positive attitudes.The girls understand we are astruggling team due to lack ofnumbers, but they want to helpbuild a strong program for futuregenerations,” Kinney-Bass said.

Returning starters include EllieCaudill (1B/3B), Jess Bartholomew(1B/3B), Morgan Bronson (P/IF)and Stephanie Cradduck (CF/IF).

Bartholomew hit .346 last sea-son and drove in seven runs.

Other key players include KaraGiesting (SS/C), Ellie Caudill(1B/3B), Rebecca Alfaro (LF/CF),Lindsey Corbitt (2B/SS) and KatiePellegrini (OF/1B).

McNicholasHead coach Tim Ross and the

Rockets will field a team made upmostly of freshmen and sopho-mores in 2012.

Despite its youthfulness, Rosssees potential in his roster.

“They are mentally tough and avery cohesive unit. They have lotsof raw talent that is developing,”Ross said by email.

The Rockets will have key up-perclassmen setting an examplefor the younger players.

Seniors Haley Stultz (CF) andCourtney Curran (3B) will be keyto the squad’s defensive efforts,while pitcher Abby Jones returns

for her junior season.Jones won six games last season

while posting a1.34 ERA. She accu-mulated 279 strikeouts during herfirst two seasons on the varsitysquad.

TurpinHead coach Tom McGill takes

over a squad that went 17-7 a sea-son ago.

McGill, who brings 10 years ofcoaching experience to the job,

said the Lady Spartans should bebe aggressive on offense and de-fense.

The squad only features threeseniors, but those upperclassmanshould provide invaluable experi-ence

Shortstop Loren Combs is afour-year varsity starter and al-ready holds the school career rec-ord for stolen bases and runsscored.

Combs was third in the FAVC aseason ago with a .544 average. Shestole 34 bases and knocked in 20runs.

net for every child born, espe-cially when born into families on

the margins of society.Christians must work and

advocate for every child to re-ceive adequate food, medicalcare, housing and education. Aconsistent ethic of life is charac-teristic of the compassionateJesus of the Christian scripture.

As the drumbeat of war andthe rhetoric with Iran escalatesthe vocal Christian voice ex-horts our legislators to mil-itarism. I also find this positioninconsistent with the Jesus ofthe Bible who calls his followers

to love of enemy and who bless-es peacemakers.

In these unstable times, theother voice of the Christianchurch encourages our leadersto the tedious and painstakingwork of sustained, direct, andcomprehensive talks with Iran.

The foundation and commonground of these talks is thatultimately the people of everynation have the same hopes;opportunity, peace and the possi-bility of abundant life.

In this holiest week of the

Christian year, the church willcontemplate a crucified Savior.Jesus accomplished God’s planthrough compassion, especiallyfor the marginalized, andthrough the power of nonvio-lence in the pursuit of peaceamong all people. This voice ofChristianity needs to be heardby our leaders and in the publicsquare today.

Everyone I know is complain-ing about high gas prices, usu-ally blaming people from thepolitical party that they oppose.

The Union of ConcernedScientists, which does scientificresearch on public policy issues,has developed a plan that caninsulate us more from oil pricesby reducing demand.

Our current demand is 20million barrels of oil per day(mbd) that will increase to 25mbd by 2030 if we do nothing.Their goal is to reduce demandby 50 percent by 2030. Here iswhat they propose:

» Increase fuel economy forlight-duty vehicles and expandelectric vehicles. Under existingauthority, DOT and EPA canincrease the fuel economy andreduce tailpipe emissions fromlight-duty vehicles.

Tight standards and strongfinancial incentives can lead to

an aggressivepenetration ofelectric drivevehicles (plug-in hybrid, fuelcell and batteryelectric). By2030, thesevehicles wouldrepresent ap-proximately 25percent of allnew vehicles

sold. Savings: 5.8 mbd» Increase fuel economy for

medium and heavy-duty vehi-cles. Using existing authority,the EPA and DOT can increasethe fuel economy of mediumduty vehicles to approximately16 mpg and heavy-duty vehiclesto over 10 mpg in 2030. Savings:1.0 mbd

» Improve efficiency of othertransportation modes. Usingexisting authority, EPA can

improve fuel economy and re-duce emissions from non-roadvehicles, including planes,trains, boats, and other non-highway vehicles. Savings: 0.7mbd

» Advanced biofuels. Cellu-lose-based biofuels made fromgrass, wood waste, and evengarbage can replace as much as20 billion gallons of gasoline by2030, but needs capital invest-ment. Savings: 1.3 mbd

» Industrial and buildingefficiency. Increase the energyefficiency in buildings and im-prove industrial processes,including an efficiency boost ofboilers operating on fuel oil 50percent by 2030. Savings: 3.8mbd

» Smart growth and expand-ed public transit options. Ex-panded public transit options,mode-shifting for freight, smarttraffic management and other

smart growth strategies. Sav-ings: 1.3 mbd

Total savings: 13.9 mbdTo learn more go to www.uc-

We need to do more thanwhat we are currently doing bydecreasing our oil use and thatis what the Union of ConcernedScientists’ oil savings plan does.This will cut our oil consumptiondramatically and improve ourair quality at the same time.

This can happen, but takespolitical will to do so. I encour-age everyone to write to his orher representative and senatorsin Washington to back proposalsthat will make this plan a reality.

Did you know that one inevery two homes in Ohio haveelevated levels of a danger-ous carcinogen that can easilybe tested for and remedied iffound?

Radon gas is the secondleading cause of lung cancerin the United States. Expo-sure to high levels of radon –a colorless, odorless gasfound in rock, soil and waternaturally through the break-down of uranium – is the lead-ing cause of 21,000 cases oflung cancer in nonsmokersper year, according to theEnvironmental ProtectionAgency. While radon levelspose a low threat to humanhealth outdoors, radon canaccumulate to dangerouslevels indoors.

During the month of Janu-ary, the EPA and the Ohio

Departmentof Healthhave part-nered with theOhio Associa-tion of RadonProfessionalsto sponsorNational Ra-don ActionMonth, urgingall homeown-ers to test

their homes for radon concen-trations. Testing for radon ina home or business is rela-tively inexpensive. Radon testkits are available through theOhio Department of Health,local home improvementstores and by state licensedradon professionals.

Radon is measured in pico-curies per liter of air (pCi/L),a measure of radioactivity.

Know your number! If levelsare above 4 pCi/L, mitigationis recommended.

A reading of 4.0 pCi/L isequal to the radiation of 200chest rays per year or 8 ciga-rettes per day. Radon does notdiscriminate between old ornew homes or those with orwithout basements, and test-ing is the only way to knowyour number.

For more informationmention the Ohio Departmentof Health at www.ohio.ra-don.com for low cost test kitsand licensed testers in yourarea or check with your localcounty health department fortest kit coupons.

A few months back I was ap-pointed to serve as HamiltonCounty Clerk of Courts. Our job isto provide professional, courteouscustomer service to the public,and keep the official court recordfor all cases.

Our challenge as an organiza-tion is to do this as efficiently aspossible. We are accountable tothe taxpayers, and owe it to them.Upon taking office, I learnedprofessional bail bondsmen owedus over $2.1 million. I saw this asan opportunity. I worked with mystaff to make certain we wereaggressively pursuing all out-standing bond money. Our em-ployees partnered with the prose-cutor’s office, as well as otherstate and local agencies. In lateJanuary, we notified all bailbondsmen that our office wouldbe strictly enforcing state law,and if they have unpaid bonds inexcess of 60 days in arrears, as ofApril 1 they will no longer bedoing business in Hamilton Coun-

ty.I am pleased

to say as oftoday my officehas collectedapproximately$1.2 million, andwe’re goingafter the rest.The moneywe’ve brought inhas been re-turned to the

arresting agencies throughoutyour communities, as well as thetaxpayers themselves through thecounty general fund.

As elected officials, we mustdo more with less. I am so proudof the dedicated employees whowork in my office. This is just oneexample of their many accom-plishments, and how we are com-mitted to the citizens of HamiltonCounty.

A local musical gem is celebrat-ing its 50th anniversary.

The Forest-Aires women’schorus was founded in 1962 by Syl-via Gilchrist, who gathered ForestHills PTA moms to rehearse andperform popular choral music.

Over the years, the chorus hasexpanded to draw singers from allaround the east side of HamiltonCounty and also Clermont County –out to Amelia, Bethel and Goshen.Many stay with the chorus for dec-ades.

In its early days, the chorusraised money for the Forest HillsSchools music program.

After donating funds for equip-ment the chorus launched a schol-arship program to fund voice les-sons for high school students. Thatprogram still exists; the Forest-Aires have awarded voice scholar-ships to 243 students in HamiltonandClermontCounties.Anothersixstudents will be chosen in the fall.

The Forest-Aires was namedAnderson Township Civic Organi-zation of the Year for this scholar-ship program.

Before 1962, the group wasknown as the Mother Singers. “Ru-mor has it that a newspaper printeda typo, headlining the chorus as theMother Sinners,” said NancyMcCullough,whojoinedtheForest-Aires in1969 and still performs. “Atthat point, the ladies decided tochange the group’s name to the For-est-Aires.”

The Forest-Aires women'schorus is three dozen women sing-ing in three parts with choreogra-phy.

There are two main events eachyear: One is a spring show, alwayscalled Encore!, featuring manytypes of songs drawn from a varie-ty of eras and styles – popular,Broadway, Disney, novelty, movies.

In December, the Forest-Airestakea45-minuteChristmasconcertto area civic groups, senior centers,churches, etc.

The Forest-Aires' purpose is toenjoy choral singing, share enjoy-ment of music with audiences, andpass on an appreciation of vocalmusic to the next generationthrough the scholarships.

NEW YORK

I’m anxious to get allthe window boxes up andplanted with spring flow-ers. I’ll use pansies andviolas, since they are bothedible, and they add a popof color to spring salads,drinks and pastries.

Creeping thyme andmarjoram will be myfillers. Both of these herbsare two of my favoriteculinary herbs, and as thethyme grows, it’s so at-tractive as it tumbles

down thefront of theboxes. Themarjoramis a lightergreen mak-ing for aprettycontrastamong theflowers.

Thebonus is

that as I replace the pan-sies with heat-tolerantflowers, the herbs don’tneed to be replaced andgrow happily until the coldweather forces them toshut down.

When it comes to buy-ing concert tickets on theInternet, you need tobeware of ticket brokers –some of whom are posingas “official” concert web-sites.

That’s what a CherryGrove woman learnedwhen she went searchingfor tickets for an upcom-ing concert at Riverbend.

Linda Shrader is a fanof the rock group Radio-head and rushed to theInternet when she heardthey were coming to playat Riverbend. She wantedtickets for all four mem-

bers of herfamily.

“I typedin River-bend MusicCenter,Cincinnati,RadioheadJune 5. I hitthe returnbutton andthe search

results came up and thevery first one said ‘River-bend Music Center Offi-cal ticket Service Onlinefor Riverbend MusicCenter,’” Shrader says.

Believing that was the

real website for River-bend, Shrader clicked onit. “It showed a map ofRiverbend. The wholething looked very official.It had the tickets, but thetickets were very expen-sive … For the area that Iwas looking at in the pa-vilion, it was $345 dollarsfor each ticket,” Shradersays.

Later, when she toldher sons she had boughtthe tickets, they told hershe paid way too muchmoney. She contacted thewebsite and tried to can-cel the purchase but was

told she couldn’t. Hercredit card company alsorefused to cancel thepurchase.

“They won’t give thetickets yet, they claimthey won’t be sent outuntil May 29, which is justa few days before theconcert. So, I’m a littleleery about the factthey’re not going to be inmy hand,” Shrader says.

Shrader complained tothe website about its useof the word “official.” Shesays they told her theyalso state on the site “Weare a resale marketplace,

not a box office or venue.”Shrader recently found

another website from aticket broker that clearlystates at the top, “Noaffiliation with officialsite.” Shrader says she’dlike to alert others to beaware of these websites.

A spokeswoman forRiverbend said the musiccenter is very concernedabout these ticket brokerwebsites. She says it iscurrently looking intowhat legal rights it has tostop companies fromusing the words “official”and “official ticketing

site.”At this point, Shrader

says she just hopes shewill get the four ticketsfor which she has alreadypaid $1,700. Bottom line:If in doubt, call the venuewhere the concert will beheld and ask for its web-site address and whentickets will go on sale.

Mary’sMary’sPlan t Farm & Landscap ing

Our success in providing the best quality and most diversity in hardy unusual plants, succulents, trees, shrubs,herbs,wildflowers and roses has made our nursery the place to come for those who garden.Mary’s vast

knowledge of horticulture has accumulated over a lifetime of gardening experience, allowing her to help newgardeners prevent or solve those landscape and plant problems.On any given day we are helping customersfind new plants that will be successful in their landscape,whether it be container gardening, a woodlandretreat, formal or cottage gardens, foundation plantings around the home, or a new tree for the yard.Our

extensive inventory includes a large native selection and heritage plants, even to the newest plant introductionsthat have ‘proven’ their worth in Mary’s test gardens. If it doesn’t meet her standards,we don’t grow it. Duringbusiness hours you are welcome to tour Mary’s 3 acres of 60 year old private gardens that include woodland,sun, rockery, herb and rose gardens.Walking our growing fields you will find plants ‘locally grown’ in Ohio soil,ready to be transplanted into your garden.Or choose from those plants already potted or balled and burlapedin the nursery sales area.We do not grow our plants in greenhouses, and do not use soiless mixes for potting.

Plants live outside and need a healthy large root system that only growing in soil can produce.We provide a full landscape consultation, design and installation service to fit any gardener’s needs.Our

designs use“the right plant for the location”. Not just what looks good today, but what will be hardy and remainattractive.We are proud to say that for 35 years, gardeners from all over the U.S. find their way to Mary’s topurchase that hard to find plant, either in person or through our mail order catalog.National magazines and

garden authors list Mary’s as a great plant source.Events:April 29, 1:30 pm ‘Wildflower:Talk & Tour’,May 6th 1:30 pm, ’Container Gardens’,May 8 - 13, ‘Fragrance Week’, other events listed on the website

Wellness is my choice.Staying fit is one of the many dimensions of wellness, so Victoria helped me set up my own personal exercise

even if my financial situation or health care needs do. After all, wellness includes peace of mind.
