How do we preserve greenspaces while providing opportunities for rest and play within urban development pressures? How do we manage the unique challenges of types of extraordinary spaces with substantial public use? Tom will speak about innovative ways to provide healthy and engaging new greenspaces through the discussion of several cutting edge places that have been built with a perspective towards modern public use. Places like the RFK Greenway in Boston, the High Line in New York City, and the newest project, Parklands at Floyds Fork to answer the ways we are developing and managing the challenges to provide desirable greenspaces. 9:30 10:30 am Concurrent Sessions Annuals & Perennials Emerging Ideas and Issues Garden Center & Greenhouse Innovation Sediment & Erosion Control Sustainable Landscaping Tree & Shrub Care Turfgrass Management 10:30 11:00 am Break/Trade Show Opportunity 11:00 12:00 pm Concurrent Sessions Annuals & Perennials Emerging Ideas and Issues Garden Center & Greenhouse Innovation Sediment & Erosion Control Sustainable Landscaping Tree & Shrub Care Turfgrass Management 12:00 1:30 pm Lunch & Dessert with Exhibitors 1:30 2:30 pm Concurrent Sessions Annuals & Perennials Emerging Ideas and Issues Garden Center & Greenhouse Innovation Sediment & Erosion Control Sustainable Landscaping Tree & Shrub Care Turfgrass Management 2:30 3:00 pm Break/Trade Show Opportunity pm Concurrent Sessions Annuals & Perennials Emerging Ideas and Issues Garden Center & Greenhouse Innovation Sediment & Erosion Control Sustainable Landscaping Tree & Shrub Care Turfgrass Management 4:00 5:00 pm Concurrent Sessions
2 Annuals & Perennials Sessions Room 201 Time Topic & Description Speaker 9:30 10:30 Exciting New Perennials for Everyone From Plant Experts to Average Gardeners; More and more new perennials are flooding the market every year creating challenges and tough decisions. When do too many choices crash your customer? Which plants will become the new industry standards and which will slip away into oblivion? Which will perform well in gardens and improve the performance of our businesses? In his role at one of the region s top plant brokerage firms, Jesse is in a perfect position to answer all the above and more. 11:00 12:00 Plants With A Purpose: Niche Annuals and Perennials for Problem Places: Problem places, they probably populate plenty of points on your plots, posing particularly provocative predicaments. Fortunately, nature has furnished full flights of flora to fix this, frankly, fiendish misfortune. So this talk will be about annuals, perennials, grasses, and maybe a few assorted other things for difficult spots, like dry shade, wet sun, poor soil, tall screens, and the like. 1:30 2:30 Carmen Miranda in the Midwest; Now you may be asking what on earth is this all about. Let Irvin explain. A garden requires many elements to be successful but one of the most important is eye popping attention getting color and texture. And the only plants that can give you that in the extravagance that makes gardening worthwhile are tropicals and annuals. Now, everyone does containers and that is fabulous. But when you go Carmen Miranda those plants jump right out of the containers and into your garden beds. They may combine with hardy plants or they may create beds of pure tropicalissmo. Either way the result is true garden ecstasy. Jesse Hensen, Eason Horticultural Resources Scott Beuerlein, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden Irvin Etienne, Indianapolis Museum of Art Annuals for Communities and Campus (Panel Discussion) Annuals have long been a warm and welcoming way for communities and campuses (and homeowners) to greet visitors, and many have come to think that is where their role begins and ends. Yet more and more research is pointing out that annuals serve as a very important component in the sustainability toolbox. As a reliable source of nectar and pollen for wildlife, as vital elements of a community s economic prosperity, and for the role they play in reducing human stress levels and improving health, more and more evidence suggests that plantings of annuals are more than just icing in our landscapes. This panel discussion brings in several professionals involved in various aspects of working annuals into community and commercial landscapes. Short presentations will be followed by questions and conversation on why implementing annuals into landscapes is the right thing to do and how to do so well. John Martini, Landscape Architect with Viox Services. Pam Bennett, OSU Extension and Representative of America in Bloom. Steve Foltz, Director of Horticulturist at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden.
3 Emerging Ideas and Issues Sessions Room 104 9:30 10:30 Honey Bees Do you have questions about the biology of honeybees? Need a firmer grasp of the spectrum of health issues they face? Feeling blinded by hyped up news headlines? Seeking research based guidance on bee conserving use of pesticides? This presentation will provide answers and the context green industry professionals need for following active research in this area. Reed Johnson, PhD OSU Dept. of Entomology, OARDC 11:00 12:00 Coyote use of urban green space: what does their presence mean for us? Green spaces within urban and suburban landscapes are highly desired by people and coyotes alike. What influences coyote use of green spaces, and what does their presence mean for the public and other wildlife? Results from long term monitoring of coyotes and other wildlife will be presented, and highlight the need to consider wildlife use of these spaces in design and conservation. 1:30 2:30 What to do about so many deer? People everywhere love deer, but at some point too many deer become a societal problem. We ve reached that point. Deer are causing widespread harm to forests in the eastern US, including the urban forest and reforestation initiatives. This presentation shows how deer are impacting us all, and the difficulties of dealing with this emotionally and politically charged issue. Stanley Gehrt, PhD OSU School of Environment & Natural Resources Allen Pursell The Nature Conservancy Director of Forest Conservation, Indiana Chapter Tick Talk Following decades of stability, the landscape of our occupational & recreational exposure to ticks and tick borne diseases is transforming. Do you understand the hazards? Does your physician? Tick ecology, identification, and disease transmission in the tri state will be discussed with a focus on regional diseases of concern Lyme disease, RMSF, ehrlichiosis, perhaps anaplasmosis. Learn the steps you can take to minimize exposure, and potentially, loss of work due to insect vectored diseases. Elizabeth Foley, Captain, USAF Research Entomologist Wright Patterson AFB, OH
4 Garden Center & Greenhouse Innovation Sessions Room 105 9:30 10:30 Evaluating Hydroponic and Aquaponic Methods and Processes: Aligning Organic Standards to a New Method of Producing Food Angela Caporelli Kentucky Dept. of Agriculture Aquaculture Coordinator and Marketing Specialist; Program Manager, KY Proud Restaurant Rewards 11:00 12:00 Most Common Fertility Problems in Containerized Floricultural Crops Dr. Claudio C.

Gigi Neal OSU Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources Dr. Francesca Peduto Hand Department of Plant Pathology 1:30 2:30 How to Manage Weeds in the Landscape Managed landscape beds often have optimal conditions for plant growth. Unfortunately, this means conditions are often times also optimal for the growth of weeds. In this session we will learn to identify some of the more common weeds of managed landscapes. We will also categorize them by life cycle as this often determines whether a particular control strategy will be successful. Dr. Dave Gardner OSU Associate Professor, Department of Horticulture & Crop Science Ponds: Algae, Weeds, and Nutrient Management, oh my! This talk will introduce the basics of managing aquatic vegetation and algae, both with traditional chemical applications and proactively through nutrient management strategies. 4:00 5:00 Non Native Invasive Pests Update This presentation will provide an overview of newly discovered non native invasive pests, such as spotted lanternfly, and those that have been with us for a while like Asian longhorned beetle, emerald ash borer, gypsy moth, and viburnum leaf beetle.

The presentation will last ~ 45 minutes with time for questions during and after. Bob Kehres General Manager Ohio Prairie Nursery
8 Tree & Shrub Care Sessions Room 202 9:30 10:30 11:00 12:00 "The Trojan Horse inside an Ambrosia beetle: emergent disease threats to American trees." Alien invasive tree pests and pathogens threaten urban and natural forests with increasing frequency. This presentation will highlight emergent tree health issues in the eastern US and will provide details on their diagnosis, impacts and management. Attention will be given to efforts to develop new strategies for management including improved resistance to pests and pathogens. Clumps, Clods and Crumbs: Soil Density in Urban Landscapes Soil physical and morphologic properties have been well characterized in native soils, however these properties are often altered in urban landscapes due to construction activities. Often these unpredictable alternations result in negative impacts to horticultural crop growth. For example, the inversion of soil profiles or removal of topsoil during the construction process results in subsoil being the growing media for seedlings and transplants. These plants have a more difficult time getting established due to the increased soil bulk density, reduction in soil porosity, reduction in infiltration and saturated hydraulic conductivity. In this presentation we will discuss the importance of natural soil structure and texture to soil water dynamics and plant growth and how disturbance in the urban environment alters these two very important physical properties. Dr. Jason Smith Associate Professor of Forest Pathology and State Forest Health Extension Specialist at the University of Florida Brad Lee Water Quality Extension Specialist at the University of Kentucky and a Certified Professional Soil Scientist. 1:30 2:30 Why We Fear Things We Shouldn t Tree Risk from the Client s Perspective The Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) has been a valuable tool for the arborists in assessing risk. When properly understood, it is also a valuable tool in helping the client understand the causes of these fears and to put them into perspective. Saving trees in the urban environment requires more than proper arboricultural techniques. We must understand human psychology and communicate our arboricultural knowledge to our clients. Dr. Bill Fountain Extension Professor Department of Horticulture University of Kentucky A Boring Presentation This presentation focuses on a single tree pest group: tree borers. These secretive insects are some of the most challenging pests of landscape trees. Why do they attack certain trees? How can you prevent their covert assaults? Why are insecticides affective against some borers while others remain untouched? This presentation will cover the ins and outs of tree borer management. Joe Boggs Department of Entomology
9 Turfgrass Management Sessions Room 203 9:30 10:30 Soil Basics for Turfgrass Management Soil is the foundation upon which we build turfgrass plants which means soil problems lead directly to turfgrass problems. This is particularly true for urban soils which are often severely damaged during home construction or by well intended changes made by homeowners or others. This presentation will dig beneath the surface to shine a guiding light on how you can recognize and repair soil problems. Joe Boggs Department of Entomology 11:00 12:00 Natural weed control products for organic lawn care Terms such as natural and organic are, unfortunately, not rigidly defined when used in the context of choosing a pesticide for use in horticulture. In this session we will discuss what makes a product natural or organic and discuss, from a historical perspective, the development of products that are used to control weeds in those areas where conventional pesticide use is not permitted. After this presentation, audience members will be aware of: 1) The newest natural herbicides and how their performance compares with conventional chemistry industry standards 2) Strategies for control of different types of weeds, including selection of appropriate products and timing of application Dr. Dave Gardner OSU Associate Professor, Department of Horticulture & Crop Science 1:30 2:30 Turfgrass Insect Management Update This presentation will provide the latest research based information on managing turfgrass insect pests, including the results of the most recent turfgrass insecticide efficacy trials. From grubs to cutworms, this talk will help you to develop a cost effective turfgrass pest management plan. Dr. Dave Shetlar OSU Professor Department of Entomology Turfgrass Disease Management a Review of 2015 and Looking Ahead to 2016 There will be a discussion of the common diseases and problems in turfgrass in the Midwest & Approaches to Management Also included will be an Update of Current & New Turfgrass Fungicides Joseph W.
