Here's what's on today!

9-11am Harvest Hours (all ages)

Location: The People's Apothecary Garden, Lot 62

This week's harvest: Wild Bergamot (Bee Balm), Borage, and Blue Vervain remain the stars of the garden. And a new one to watch - Plantain seeds are ready to harvest! Rich in mucilage, they swell when wet to gently support digestion and keep things moving!

The PAG is open during daylight hours - plant card decks organized by category are in the box on the back of the gate. Join us during Harvest Hours when we're on hand to guide you through what's ready and how to use it.

2pm Music in the Forest (all ages)

Location: Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve

What happens when musicians take their instruments into the forest? Come find out. On Sunday afternoon, wander the trails of the Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve as drums, fiddle, and more weave their way through the trees - an immersive experience where music and nature meet.

The Fairyslipper Forest loop is 2.5km with mellow gradients and a well-maintained trail. Parking is limited - carpooling or alternative transport is much appreciated!
