Good morning, Geauga County. Spring has officially awakened our community calendar! While the last frost may still be weeks away, Master Gardener volunteers are already sharing their green-thumb wisdom at Burton Public Library every Thursday, perfectly timed for the return of the Geauga Home and Garden Show featuring 120+ vendors across Middlefield. From seed selection workshops to storytelling gatherings at Beans Coffee Shop, the county is blossoming with opportunities to grow both plants and connections.
Meanwhile, a fascinating chapter of local history is finally getting its due recognition. Dr. Bari Oyler Stith recently illuminated the overlooked contributions of Geauga County's pioneering women—from bear encounters to political leadership—revealing that women once held more elected positions here than they do today. For expectant mothers seeking modern support, mark your calendars for March 29's town hall at South Euclid-Lyndhurst library, where maternal health experts will address critical resources throughout Northeast Ohio.

0%☕️ What's Brewing Locally
🌱 Geauga County buzzes with spring community events and learning opportunities. Master Gardener volunteers offer free advice at Burton Public Library every Thursday through April, while the Geauga Home and Garden Show returns March 28-29 featuring over 120 vendors across two Middlefield locations. Creative gatherings include Storytelling Live at Beans Coffee Shop, Beer and Hymns with the Chardon Polka Band benefiting SubZero Mission, and educational sessions like "Seed Selection and Planting Plan" in the Gardening 101 series. Local retired teacher associations have scheduled upcoming luncheons featuring presentations on STRS and handbell history.
👩🏫 Women's hidden history in Geauga County finally gets spotlight. Dr. Bari Oyler Stith presented fascinating stories of pioneering local women during a special Women's History Month event hosted by the Geauga County Department on Aging. She highlighted how county women consistently pushed against the "Cult of True Womanhood" boundaries, sharing tales of brave encounters with bears, political leadership, and community involvement. Despite women holding more elected positions in early Geauga County than today, their contributions often went undocumented, prompting Dr. Stith to emphasize the importance of preserving women's stories for future generations.
👶 Free town hall offers lifeline for pregnant women in Cleveland. Birthing Beautiful Communities will host an interactive panel with maternal health experts on March 29 at the South Euclid-Lyndhurst library.

Experts will discuss holistic support options and healthcare resources available throughout Northeast Ohio. Families are welcome to attend with children, and registration is recommended for the event that includes a light lunch.
