🌳 ARBORFEST IS THIS SATURDAY! 🌳

Libbey Farm is headed to Columbus ArborFest — a whole afternoon dedicated to celebrating the trees that make our landscapes, neighborhoods, and ecosystems better. 💚

Come find me at Booth 28, where I’ll be bringing a selection of native + edible trees and plants and plenty of enthusiasm for one of Ohio’s most delicious native trees… the pawpaw, of course. 🌱

ArborFest is much more than a plant sale: spend the afternoon exploring naturalist-led tree walks, local ecosystems, talks from nature experts, live music, food trucks, family activities, a pop-up market, and more.

🌳 COLUMBUS ARBORFEST
📅 Saturday, August 22
⏰ 12:00–5:00 PM
📍 Whetstone Park
🌱 Libbey Farm — Booth 28

Come talk trees, discover something new, and maybe take home a native tree of your own. 🌿

Rooted in native plants. Powered by pawpaws!
