Presentations and herb walks with Rosemary Gladstar, Susan Belsinger, and Tina Marie Wilcox. Plant sale, book sale, vendors, giveaways, activities for the kids, and a May pole dance!
At noon Jesus Garcia from The Herbal Action Project and CTMS, will be leading a mycology walk as we will connect deeply with our communities gathered to stand upon the magic of mycelium. We will open our spirit to the great ancestor known as earth as we channel through a silent meditation to feel connected and rooted to our abilities as humans, healers and plant spirit seekers. We will take a nice little walk through the Rose, TCM and Ayurveda Gardens.
We will be giving away mushroom blocks all day. Come by and learn how you can use them in your gardens to help build fungal-rich soils.
