🚨 Important Update: Tree Tree Six Music & Arts Benefit Festival Date Change!🚨

Dear Tree Tree Six Community,

We have an important update regarding the 2024 Tree Tree Six Music & Arts Benefit Festival. The event date has been moved from July 13th, 2024, to October 19th, 2024💚

🌱 Join us on Saturday, July 13th to celebrate the opening of our new onsite greenhouse with the Boy Scouts! There will be a new greenhouse party launching this new onsite addition, alcohol sales, merchandise vendors, & opportunities to support our organization & the festival! Vendors & sponsors who have already paid are invited to set up for the greenhouse party opening for free & will keep their spot for Tree Tree Six!

Reasons for the date change:
1. Safety First: We’re prioritizing the health and wellbeing of our community, children, and volunteers due to the extreme summer heat. Feedback from our last event highlighted the discomfort of direct sunlight, despite the pleasant environment in the food forest🌞

2. Securing Sponsorships: The new date gives us more time to secure essential naming sponsors, ensuring a free event for the community & fair compensation for our artists.

3. New Greenhouse Celebration: We’ll launch our new greenhouse & onsite store, featuring merchandise, workshops, & a new venue concept for artists.

4. Optimal Tree Planting Season: October is perfect for planting new trees, aligning with our “Help a Neighbor Plant a Fruit Tree” program.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We’re excited about these positive changes and look forward to a successful festival in October!

📅 New Festival Date: October 19th, 2024
📅 Greenhouse Celebration: July 13th, 2024

See you there! 🌿🎶✨

🌿 Diversity at the Heart of Permaculture🌿

June is a powerful reminder of the beauty and strength in diversity as we commemorate both Juneteenth and Pride Month. Just as permaculture thrives on a rich variety of plants and ecosystems, our communities flourish when we embrace and celebrate our differences.💫

Juneteenth, marking the end of slavery in the United States, and Pride Month, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community, both underscore the importance of inclusion, equity, and justice. These observances remind us that a diverse society is a resilient one, where everyone’s unique contributions create a vibrant and sustainable future.✨🌍🌱

In permaculture, diversity isn’t just beneficial; it’s essential. Each plant, animal, and microorganism plays a vital role in creating a balanced and thriving ecosystem. Similarly, our cultural and social diversity is the foundation of a dynamic, creative, and compassionate society.💚

This June, let’s honor the significance of diversity in permaculture and beyond. Together, we can cultivate a world where every individual is valued and every voice is heard. 📣
