FAQ’s regarding the bulbs we give away:

1. When will you be digging out the bulbs?

Answer: we will be starting in the next few days and continuing through next week or longer, depending on weather and soil conditions and what other jobs we have to do.

2. Can I help dig, in exchange for bulbs?

Answer: thank you, but we have plenty of help digging.

3. When will there be bulbs for me to take?

Answer: everybody hates this answer but we can’t really give any specific times. We have lots of jobs to do besides bulbs, and we organize our day as we need to, which means the bulbs are there when they’re there.

4. How will I know there are bulbs for the taking?

Answer: we will post on this page when there is a pile. Please don’t call the parks office.

5. I didn’t get any bulbs last time. Can you save me some?

Answer: we can’t save bulbs for specific people. We hope everyone is understanding and that people don’t take more than what they need and that everyone gets some.

6. What do I do with my bulbs?

Answer: we recommend you go ahead and plant them now, with the leaves on if possible. Some people like to dry them out and plant in the fall. Totally your choice.

7. Why do you dig out the bulbs each year? Isn’t that a huge waste of money?

Answer: we have zillions of bulbs we leave in the ground as permanent plantings. For our annual display beds, we need to dig them out to make way for summer flowers, which will plant in May. We want our displays to be different and spectacular each year, so we plant new bulb combinations each fall.

The Power of Parks to Promote Health, a new report from @trustforpublicland finds that in the 25 cities with the top ParkScore rankings, “people are on average 9 percent less likely to suffer from poor mental health, and 21 percent less likely to be physically inactive than those in lower- ranked cities. These patterns hold even after controlling for race/ethnicity, income, age, and population density.” Efforts are underway to deepen connections between parks and healthcare systems in 26 cities. ✨Cincinnati ranked #6 on the ParkScore list of 100 cities.

We hope to see you today at Sayler Park Harvest Fest! No need to actually swap with us, please come grab a plant or 2 or some seeds for your garden

Today The Fernbank Garden Club and the florist from Cincinnati Parks spruced up Nelson Sayler Memorial Park in preparation for Sayler Park Harvest Fest next Saturday. The Club filled over 15 lawn and leaf bags with sticks and leaf litter!
The Park Board should be by this week to mow and mulch leaves.

Cincinnati Parks have CPACs. Cincinnati Parks Advisory Councils (CPAC) are volunteer citizen groups which seek to build and maintain public support for neighborhood Cincinnati Parks. CPACs provide feedback to the Cincinnati Park Board, advocate for their neighborhood park and organize community volunteer and programming events.
The Fernbank Garden Club is a new CPAC in 2023. The largest fundraiser of the year for the Cincinnati Parks Foundation is the annual Hats Off Luncheon sponsored by the Women's Committee of Cincinnati Parks. Renee Cipriani and Rebecca Sisson, President and Vice President respectively of The Fernbank Garden Club, were invited to attend this gala at Smale Riverfront Park today.
