Welcome to campus, Allen County Master Gardeners!

We are thrilled you're at Ohio State Lima for your 25th Annual Art of Gardening Conference. Silver anniversaries are a big deal, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a day dedicated to growth, community and the science of a green thumb.

Whether you’re here to master your raised beds, dive into the fun and function of plant names, learn the essential basics of plant propagation, discover more about native plants, or just soak up the wisdom of your fellow gardeners, we hope you find plenty of inspiration today! Thank you for all you do to keep our community beautiful and blooming.

At Ohio State Lima’s Engineering Discovery Day, we saw future engineers diving headfirst into the world of problem-solving. From hands-on demonstrations to engaging with industry leaders, these students learned that engineering isn't just about formulas. It’s about the mindset of curiosity and determination you bring to the table.

"A photographic archive is a collection, but it's also something we act upon. Something we enter, question and shape. To work in an archive is not to retrieve the past intact, it is to ask questions of what remains, to notice what is centered and what is peripheral, what is named and what is not, what is preserved and what is lost. It is to attend to a photograph surface and to notice what else it asks us to discover."
