🗓 Saturday, September 20th, 2025 | ⏰ 9 AM – 3 PM
📍 Petals from the Past | Jemison, AL

This isn’t just another Saturday—it’s The Great Fall Garden Festival, a full-day celebration of homesteading, gardening, and community, all set in the beautiful grounds of Petals from the Past. And guess what? We’ll be right in the mix, representing our homestead and sharing the passion behind what we do.
🌿 What to Expect:
Whether you’re knee-deep in compost or just dreaming of raised beds, this festival has something for you. Get ready for hands-on workshops, homesteading how-tos, and a chance to connect with some of your favorite YouTubers and creators in the garden space—including us!
Sherrie Black will be leading a can’t-miss workshop on Medicinal Herbs—come learn how we grow and use healing plants right from the homestead. From teas and salves to tinctures and tonics, she’ll be sharing the practical knowledge that’s been passed down through generations.

Goat Milk Soap Making (Laura Spencer – Ticketed)

👋 YouTuber Meet & Greet
We’ll be hanging out with fellow creators like Cog Hill Farm, Walker Farm Fam, Just Dig It Farms, and many more. If you’ve been following us on YouTube or social media, this is your chance to meet us in real life—snap a pic, say hello, or just talk all things gardening and growing.
🛍 Vendor Market + Farm Goods
You know we love a good market—and this one’s packed with fresh produce, handmade goods, seeds, crafts, and more from local artisans and growers. Stop by the Black’s Tropical Homestead booth to stock up on wellness products, raw honey, salves, and maybe even snag a few surprises we’ve been working on.
🍽 Food + 🎶 Music
Fuel up at the food trucks (hello Front Porch Grill and La Michoacana 👋), and enjoy live music from JQ The One Man Band while you explore. Bring a chair or a blanket and make a day of it!
Come learn, laugh, and grow with us—we can’t wait to see y’all at The Great Fall Garden Festival!
