The green movement will go native on Saturday, Sept. 8 with National Planting Day, a Keep America Beautiful initiative. The day is meant to raise awareness of native plant species and their importance to local environments and animal habitats. The Toledo Botanical Garden and Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful will participate this year by planting Oakleaf hydrangeas donated by The Andersons on the TBG grounds. “It’s certainly exciting anytime we can bring awareness to the appreciation of gardening as it relates to healthy living and our overall betterment,” says Josh Miller, TBG superintendent of gardens and grounds. Join in personally by getting your hands dirty in your own yard.
