We are excited to announce that Miami University graduate student Alexa de Repentigny-MacAulay is the recipient of our first Nontraditional Student Scholarship award!  Alexa received the $2,000 award in conjunction with the Greater Oxford Community Foundation.  Alexa’s passion for Botany shows in her work in environmental education, combating food insecurity and of course the love of plant life which we all share.  Check out the official release on the Community Foundation’s Facebook page here.

Please join us in congratulating Alexa for her achievements!

Thank you to all of our Oxford Garden community for supporting the 2026 “Oxford In Bloom” Garden tour! It was a wonderful day filled with friends, flowers and inspiration. Visiting six gardens in the Oxford area including the historic Doty Pioneer Farm hosting our garden market, made for a fun filled Saturday. And the weather was perfect!

Our next garden tour will be in June 2028! Until then, visit our garden tour page to see highlights from this year!

In July, the Des Fleurs Garden Club toured the lovely Herb Garden at Spring Grove
Cemetery and Arboretum. The Herb Society of Greater Cincinnati designed and created
this garden, which included kitchen herbs, medicinal herbs, and native herbs. Then the
Des Fleurs Club took a tram ride tour of the cemetery and saw unusual trees like a 400-
year-old White Oak, a 350-year-old Chinquapin Oak, a 300-year-old Burr Oak, a
Weeping Beech, a Korean Pine, an American Holly, a Wildfire Black Gum, and a
Nordmann Fir. The trees were amazing and beautiful, and the grounds were well-kept.
