Community Engagement Opportunities

The Gathering Circle

Join us every 4th Friday for The Gathering Circle, a recurring fireside chat series led by herbalist and educator Libby Berg. Gather around the warmth of a hearth for guided seasonal conversations, hands-on activities, and herbal teas to nourish your hands and hearts. Each month brings a unique theme, offering fresh perspectives and experiences:

January 24th, 2pm - 3pm ~ New Beginnings

Beginning a new year often invokes fresh inspiration, inviting us to reflect on the previous year and refocus our ideas and goals for the months to come. By gathering together and sharing dreams and plans for a new cycle, we strengthen these ideas. Join us for a casual discussion of New Beginnings as we plant seeds infused with individual goals, to take home and nurture each stage of growth. Our tea pairing for this gathering is Lavender + Lemon Balm tea to bring calm and clarity to our focused intentions.

Activity: Seed planting for intentions (herbs to take home).
Tea: Lavender and lemon balm tea for calm and clarity.

February 21st, 2pm - 3pm ~ Wild Wisdom

Foraging is a wonderful way to learn about the Wild Wisdom of nature. It allows us to deepen our understanding of native habitats, the cycles of the natural world and the traditions of our ancestors. As we gather to share knowledge, stories and experiences in the wild, our hands will be busy forming wildcrafted incense from locally foraged plants. Following this gathering we invite you to burn your hand rolled aromatic incense to bring the inspiring elements of our discussion and wild wisdom of nature into your home. Our tea pairing for this gathering is Rose hip + Pine Needle tea to celebrate winter’s bounty.

Activity: Hand rolled incense cones with foraged elements.
Tea: Elderflower and rose hip tea to celebrate winter's bounty.

Let's Connect!

Blooming B-street Learning Garden (formerly B-street Farm) has served many functions over the years & continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many in our community. Years ago, it was the first home to the Forest Grove Community School (FGCS) while their current building was being finished. B-street was also the jumping off place for the Adelante Mujeres Agricultura Program. Countless students from Pacific University have gained hands-on experience in regenerative gardening, nature-based education, sustainable design, green and natural building, animal husbandry, bee keeping, & so much more. Students & teachers from FGCS, the Community Alternative Learning Center (CALC), Tom McCall's Roots & Shoots Club, and across the Forest Grove School District have enjoyed the many opportunities for field trips that provide real world applications of their school curriculum. B-street has hosted the Permaculture Convergence, sustainable living workshops, served as a gathering space for cyclists traveling across the state, as well as been a destination for many in the community to come & enjoy beautiful gardens. B-street has been, & continues to be, an invaluable resource in our community.
