Join us at Live Oak Brewing Company to celebrate Tree Folks, healthy trees, healthy soil and fungal diversity! We will have mushroom blocks for you to take home and will be brining a fun new game, “Lichen Lookout” to test your observational and identification skills.
This year, the TreeFolks Friends and Family Picnic is going BIG! Our love for trees is absolutely contagious, and we’re inviting every tree and nature lover to help us celebrate the incredible native trees of Central Texas! Here’s what you can expect:
Not-To-Be-Missed New Additions: A makers-market with local artisan goods, a nature-themed dog-costume contest, live DJs, plus surprise activities!
Beloved Classics: Ask-an-Arborist, tree-themed tarot, bug safari, and tree loteria are coming back, too!
Join the SEED SWAP! Make sure to visit the Central Texas Seed Savers table to participate in our annual seed swap! Please bring seeds to donate—any variety will do, but make sure they are labeled with the type of plant and the year they were collected. 🌰
We’ve got some great eats lined up for you—Food vendors this year include: Texas Drip BBQ, Tamale Addiction, Barnaby’s Italian Ice, and Lemon Bars by Jackie. Cool off with specialty lemonades by Zesty Mama or grab a cold beer from the Live Oak Brewing Company taproom.
Save the date and bring out the family, get your friends out of the group chat, and celebrate trees with us!
Special thank you to our friends at Maas Verde for being the presenting sponsor of TreeFolks Annual Friends and Family Picnic!
