Learn how to create your very own native matrix garden alongside Michael Keeler from Ohio Native Concepts LLC. Matrix planting is a design method that optimizes every square foot of garden space by utilizing a multi-layered planting scheme that minimizes weeds, enhances biodiversity, and provides a habitat for pollinators to complete their life cycles. During this workshop, you will learn about the layers in matrix planting, the arrangement of plants within these layers, and the selection of suitable plants.

Michael Keeler is the founder and principal of Ohio Native Concepts. Michael brings a background in natural resources management and a passion for nature and community to his work creating impactful landscapes for residential and institutional clients across Central Ohio. His design approach focuses on creating spaces that connect humans to nature and improve ecological function and biodiversity. By creatively combining art with ecology, Michael creates living landscapes that are as beautiful and meaningful as they are resilient and sustainable.
