Title: [OSP] Botany Fair [May 22, 2010]
Post by: Mordaan on May 05, 2010, 05:28:48 pm

Overview:

When: [Saturday, May 22, 2010 – 2PM ET, 18:00GMT]
Where: Lake of Tears Outpost - Bronze Door Road2

Details:
A fair dedicated to all things related to plants and herbs and how it relates to harvesting, herbalism, alchemy, and even cooking.  There will be discussions of the various plants and herbs and their locations, as well as their use.  We will also have demonstrations on new harvesting techniques.  Cooks are also welcome to discuss how various plants and herbs are used in cooking.  Perhaps some unique dishes can be demonstrated.  

There will also be a contest:  the great herb hunt!  [Details to be determined]

So bring your shovels and axes!  Further details to be announced.

OOC:
With recent changes and additions, herbs and plants have taken on new significance.  Hopefully alchemy and herbalism skills are not far behind.  This will be a great chance to gather and share our knowledge in this area.
Join this thread (http://www.hydlaaplaza.com/smf/index.php?topic=37292.0) and further discuss your ideas on how we can make this a successful and fun event.

What a shame that rides cannot be lent. And even if Solita gets one just-in-time, she may hardly be able to train it quickly enough to have it present for long enough...

So I believe that walking will be preferred again.

Yes, this is still going on.  Sorry I haven't had time to advertise it more.  I've just been swamped.   :-\

Here is an itinerary...

2PM ET (6PM GMT)
Introductions (meet and greet)
Discussions about plants and harvesting
Select groups for hunt

3PM ET (7PMGMT)
Great herb hunt

4PM ET (8PMGMT)
Food, drinks, and celebration


Here is how the great herb hunt will work:

We will form in groups (4 maximum).  You will be provided a list of plants/herbs to search for.  Some you will need only one, others you will have to gather in greater numbers (hint, hint).  First group to present all their items wins!  Each group will have all unique items so there is not competition for spawns.  Of course you may not bring the items with you and may not grab them from storage.

Have those shovels and axes at the ready!
