Celebrating our Relationship with the Land & the Gifts of the Plants

Now in its 2nd year, and brought to you by herbalists, this gathering is intended to focus on, celebrate and help to deepen our reciprocal relationship with the plant world. Plants nourish us, help us to heal, inspire us with beauty and help to cleanse the land, air and water that surround us. As herbalists, we study the healing properties of plants in relation to the human body, mind & spirit. As plant people, we care for the land and all the plants that dwell here with reverence, curiosity and gratitude

Join us for a full weekend of learning and sharing ideas, creations and delicious food as we bring together some of the finest plant people of our region while the plants are at their peak.
