A 3-Part Workshop Series at Worts & Wards

Rooted in Rhythm is a three-part, in-person workshop series designed to help you understand and work with the natural growing rhythms of Northeast Ohio.

This series blends practical gardening with a deeper awareness of seasonal living — giving you the tools to grow food, support your garden ecosystem, and build a more connected relationship with the plants around you.

Each workshop can be attended individually, but together they create a progression:

Understanding the season → Supporting the ecosystem → Working hands-on with plants

Whether you’re growing in a backyard, a patio, or just getting started, this series is designed to meet you where you are.

All sign-ups will be completed through the Worts & Wards website, so don’t be surprised when the link takes you there.

Workshop 1

Spring Crops & Seasonal Transitions: Growing Beyond the Mother’s Day Myth

Friday, April 17, 2026
6:30–8:00 PM
$30

Most gardening advice tells you to wait until Mother’s Day to begin — but that timeline doesn’t reflect how our growing season actually works.

This workshop focuses on the early spring growing window and how to take advantage of it.

You’ll learn:

• How the three growing seasons in Northeast Ohio function
• What can be planted in early spring (lettuce, kale, radishes, peas, and more)
• How to use succession planting to extend your harvest
• How to transition from spring crops into summer crops
• Practical ways to grow food in small or urban spaces

This session is designed to give you a clearer understanding of seasonal timing and the confidence to begin growing earlier than you may have thought possible.

Participants will also receive access to a digital growing guide and presentation via QR code.
