This month, learn about a variety of native pollinators, build a mushroom-based world-wide web, learn how trees carry water, learn to be a tree ID hero, and more!

Session 1: 10:00 - 10:45 am

Session 2: 11:00 - 11:45 am

We welcome all to come spend the day and learn about the local ecosystem, participate in eco-art, and enjoy the beautiful St. Edward's, two year-old Food Forest. We will discuss how to get the absolute most out of plants, ranging from edible and medicinal uses, pollination science, cultural uses, and biophilic use through art.

The best way to learn about plants is by getting your hands dirty, so following our guest speakers, attendees will have the opportunity to plant pollinator plants and native shrubs.

We will also have kids activities, such as making seed balls, painting, and more! Bring your friends and family, and enjoy nature, socializing, and refreshments on the Hilltop!
