Spring is here!  Come enjoy it at Sequatchie Valley Institute!

Annual Lane Cove Spring Wildflower Hike and Open House.  Saturday, Apr. 13.
Free and open to the public.  Come hike along our nature trails and tour our
gorgeous permaculture gardens and hand-crafted solar-powered structures.
Learn about our region's spectacular wildflowers on guided hikes with
Naturalist and TN Aquarium Horticulturist Christine Bock. The hikes (one
more strenuous) will explore the spring flowers of beautiful Lane Cove,
located on the west escarpment of the Sequatchie Valley. The flowers will be
unique this spring due to recent forest fires.  If you plan to hike, bring
lunch, water bottles, and outdoor gear. Email [log in to unmask]

Lunch and a Log.   Sunday, April 14,  12:00-4:00 Central Time.  Learn to
inoculate an oak log with Shiitake mushrooms.  Your inoculated log will
produce nutritious and delicious mushrooms for several years.  $25 to $40
sliding scale includes hands-on instruction, a mushroom-filled garden-fresh
lunch and your own log to take home.  Also included is a tour of our gardens
and solar-powered facilities.
