EARTH DAY CELEBRATION, APRIL 21ST 12:00 PM, $25 PER PERSON

Come join us for a celebration of our beautiful planet and all that she provides us.  Our Earth Day celebration will begin with a Spring plant and foraging walk with Herbalists Lesley Vernon and River Bryant.  Explore the medicinal and edible plants “hiding in plain sight”.  A light lunch of Lentil Stew, salad with our edible finds added in and sweet breads will be prepared by chef Kat McNama.  To end this special event, River will lead a ceremony to honor Mother Earth and welcome Spring back to the mountains.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Appalachia Resource Conservation and Development (ARCD), a local non-profit serving Northeast Tennessee and dedicated to the conservation of natural resources and improvement of rural economies through community leadership and enhanced educational opportunities.  There will be an opportunity to donate additional money to ARCD for those who would like to do so.
