 Lunar Beltane on The Creek
Native Plant Weekend and Open House; May 13-14, 2006
 
The North Carolina Chapter of The American Herbalist Guild and MoonBranch 
Botanicals invites you to learn about our region's native plants at our 
first annual Lunar Beltane on The Creek; Native Plant Weekend and Open 
House. So gather up your hawthorne flowers and frankincense and head to 
this little known and perhaps most biodiverse corner of western North 
Carolina to celebrate Spring's magic with us.
 
Beginning at 12 Noon on Saturday, May 13 and ending at 12 Noon on Sunday, 
May 14 (Rain or Shine) we'll have ample time to hike, stroll, plant, 
observe and learn about this valley's abundant medicinal plants in the 
remote mountain community of Yellow Creek. Primitive camping is available 
on site or you may choose from one of the area's many US Forest Service 
campsites or local inns.

It is well for people who think to change their minds occasionally 
in order to keep them clean.
For those who do not think, it is best at least to rearrange their 
prejudices once in a while.
-Luther Burbank (1849-1926) born on Mar 7
