 Granny’s Garden School is a non-profit educational organization based in Loveland, Ohio that uses school grounds to help students discover the beauty and importance of nature, to experience the satisfaction of growing their own food, and to appreciate the simple pleasure of picking a flower.

Our matches have been invited to come anytime, except during school hours,  from April until frost (usually late October) to pick a bouquet of up to 24 stems of any flower in the gardens, except for sunflowers, at Granny’s Gardens in Loveland, Ohio.  Interested matches should email Roberta Paolo at roberta@grannysgardenschool.org before coming for the first time.  Directions and a membership card will be sent.  We are being given this opportunity free of charge.  Be sure to thank Granny and let us know if you take advantage of this opportunity!

There are also many times throughout the year when the general community is invited to come in to plant, harvest and for other special activities that are free.  There is no regular schedule for these opportunities and they almost always happen on the weekends.  Register on the website: www.GrannysGardenSchool.org for these “Grannygrams”.

Our garden volunteers work in the gardens every Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. from March - November.   
 
There is always much to do in the gardens and we appreciated whatever help you can offer be it an hour or two or all day.  It's a great opportunity to learn about all aspects of gardens plus each experience includes free flowers, plants and seeds, depending on the time of the year.  It's a great opportunity to share time with someone special as this grandfather and granddaughter did.  To register, send Granny and e-mail indicating the day and time you are available.
