Day Description:
Ande and Lauren of Lola's Botanical, a local tea company of medicinal herbs
There is a calling for more collaboration and community around creating opportunities that are accessible and affordable all the while very dynamic and ongoing for us to gather repeatedly. This event has come together from that need whilst offering a space for learning, family interaction, and a communal fall gathering occurs. This event is created and produced by some of the Ohio River Valley and beyonds best plant based business' and organizations.
With a deep sense of gratitude and excitement we are bringing this experience within the Cincinnati Tri-state area of Northern Kentucky. We invite you to join us, unplug for the day, and immerse yourselves into the wonders nature provides and offers.
At all times several things will be happening, indoor presentations, outdoor walks or hands on, vending, and space to just be.
It's really about cultivating in yourself a deeper awareness of your connection with plants, and enjoy walking away knowing a bit more than you have before, and perhaps be inspired as you walk into the fall season closer to nature and refreshed in your connection with others on their own plant journeys as well... Enjoy a plant and nature experience with a community, and perhaps bring the family and create a memory together...
Host Site:
Treasure Lake with Dark Wood Farm
Treasure lake is local small business focused on recreation in nature, from hiking to birding, boating to fishing that has been in the Crouch family since 1984. It's a wonderfully scenic place hidden in the hills of the Northwestern Corner of Northern Kentucky and Boone County only 22 miles from downtown Cincinnati. We have been hard at work developing the broad acre forest for bio-diversity and wild food abundance. With our thickets of spicebush and paw paw in the understory and towering hickories and oaks in the overstory, the wildlife love it here and we are sure you will too. Camping is on one of our flat ridges that perch above the 12 acre pay fishing lake. Furthermore, it is a community center of sorts as well with entertainment and nature immersion uniquely blending together! The property also now features Dark Wood Farm run by Annie Woods, a local growing local foods. The farm runs a 50-person CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program from May- November and sell their produce to restaurants in the greater Cincinnati area. Furthermore, the following Permaculture elements and functions that can be experienced are:
Non Timber forest product development including a focus on wildlife management
Extensive Native Food Forest and specific management techniques to enhance this
Hot & Cold Composting (Vermiculture) systems for boosting soil life, picking up on waste streams, and cycling nutrients
Market Garden that feeds into local foods and creates employment
Tree Crop and mushroom production for further food resilience
Event and Festival hosting to create a cultural gathering point for many points of culture
