To all my Terra Depot friends - may I introduce to you a wonderful monthly magazine filled with fascinating articles suitable for kids and adults! Nature and natural resource focused, the magazine presents information to help all of us learn where things come from and why it’s so important! This is a family enterprise, my sister is the publisher, my son is the writer. Terra Depot pops up periodically as well as a few cameo appearances from Bess and Ivy! I’m so proud to introduce this to you and hope you will consider subscribing!

Welcome to Challenger Deep—the deepest depth on Earth!

Located in the Mariana Trench, just southwest of Guam, Challenger Deep reaches nearly 36,000 feet (6.8 miles) below sea level. If you dropped Mount Everest here, its peak would still be over a mile underwater! Despite the extreme conditions, life thrives with unique creatures like amphipods, sea cucumbers, and giant xenophyophores.

With a passion for plants and a gift for connecting people to nature, Dave Tomashefski brings both expertise and enthusiasm to the 2026 BOTANICA stage. 🌱

As co-founder of Meadow City Native Plant Nursery in Cleveland and a former researcher at The Ohio State University’s Soil, Water and Environmental Lab, Dave combines science, education, and a lifelong love of the outdoors—first sparked by birdwatching in Lakewood.

Making the Most of Your Tree with a Soft Landings Garden invites you to rethink the space beneath your trees—showing how thoughtful planting can transform these often-overlooked areas into vibrant ecosystems that support biodiversity, help butterflies and moths complete their life cycles and enhance the beauty and resilience of your landscape. 🦋 You'll be inspired to see your yard from the canopy down—and discover how even shaded spaces can become thriving habitats.

🌱 Bring the Learning Home!
Dave will also be bringing a curated selection of native plants—perfect for creating your own “soft landings” garden—available for purchase at the event. This is a great opportunity to get expert advice and take home the right plants to start building habitat right away!

Get ready to see the natural world in a whole new way at BOTANICA 2026! Join us in welcoming Danae Wolfe—conservation photographer, writer, and educator—as she shares her inspiring talk: From Fear to Fascination: Rewilding the Mindscape

In a world often driven by environmental urgency, Danae invites us to shift our perspective—from fear to wonder, curiosity, and connection. Through her journey and stunning macro photography, she reveals the hidden beauty of backyard insects and spiders, helping us see these often-overlooked creatures not as pests, but as essential and fascinating parts of our ecosystems. 🐝🕷️

This program perfectly reflects our theme of Nurturing Nature—encouraging us to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the extraordinary in the everyday. With powerful storytelling and practical insights, Danae shows how changing what we value in nature can inspire meaningful, hopeful action right where we live.

📸 With more than 20 years behind the lens, Danae is the creator of Chasing Bugs, an initiative that empowers gardeners to support biodiversity through small, impactful changes. Her work has been featured by CNN, The American Gardener, and Nature Conservancy Magazine, and she was named Garden Communicators International’s 2022 Emergent Communicator.
