Join DAWO on September 19th at 6:30 pm as we tour the headquarters of Deeply Rooted Landscapes! Learn how a native plant nursery operates and DRL's plans for the future.
Deeply Rooted Landscapes was founded in 2019 by owner, Kara Maynard. The nursery offers consultation, garden design, installation, maintenance, invasive plant removal, native plant sales and a series of workshops throughout the year. DRL currently has 10 employees, not including Kara's amazing kids and husband who help a lot, but are not officially on the payroll. The business is located on Kara and her husband's (Tim) 5.5 acre property in Butler Township, Ohio. When Tim and Kara bought the property in 2018 it was almost completely turf grass and over the past 5 years they converted 2.5 acres of lawn over to prairie reconstruction/afforestation project and have planted over 600 native trees and shrubs throughout the property. They have removed so much honeysuckle and continue to do so and are buoyed by their neighbor's enthusiasm for killing honeysuckle and adopting native plants! The prairie was first seeded in 2020, so it is fully in “leap” mode now and many of the trees planted by Tim, Kara and their two kids have gone from 12 inch saplings to over 10 feet tall!
The family had two solar installations put in; one in 2019 and the other in 2021. They will share a handout on the process and size of their system with whomever is interested on the tour.
After the tour is complete the nursery will be open for plant shopping, so bring your wishlists! If you want to get a preview of what is in stock visit DRL's online store:
