"You can start by just planting in little pots. Sometimes we feel like, well, I don't have a big yard. I don't have a big sunny spot, I can't do much. But even one pot with a host plant and a nectar plant is a big help for the environment." In this week's story with Carrie Driehaus from Queen City Pollinator Project, learn how you can help our region's pollinators, even if you only have a balcony. Interview by Suzanne Wilder.

“I’m glad that I’m what they call a pioneering woman. I’m glad that I get credit for that, but who was the first doesn’t really matter.” We remember Katie Laur, a pioneering female bluegrass musician, radio host, and writer, who passed away on Aug. 3, as warm, brilliant, and thoughtful. She leaves behind an influential and inspiring legacy for Cincinnati culture and music – and for trailblazers everywhere. Photography by Larrison Photography.

"It feels like something much bigger than me . . . really what I wanted as I looked around what was offered for moms and families in Cincinnati, I wanted something that went deeper."
