This Saturday is our annual Fall Foraging Festival at the nursery! Come on out to the nursery and enjoy live music, wild edible education, foraging, and more! Join one our experts on walks around the grounds looking at various native plants that produce the abundance of food that our ancestors depended on. Try some locally prepared wild game such as venison, elk, wild turkey, or trout. You can experience living history and try your hand at various survival skills practiced on the Ohio frontier! Explore the history of Native American plant use. Learn ways that you can use native plants in your landscaping to feed both yourself and your local pollinating insects. This free-to-attend event is family friendly and of course the numerous native plants at the nursery are available to shop and purchase as well. We hope to see you there!
