With a smoky voice and emotionally raw lyricism, Michigan-based singer/songwriter Tali Snowden blends blues, jazz, and rock influences into her signature acoustic-driven sound. Originally from Austin, Texas, Snowden’s roots run deep, tracing from her family’s musical background to years of performing across the Midwest and beyond. After debuting her first solo EP in 2024, Tali returns with “Keep Trying,” a soulful new single that captures both the grit and grace that define her artistry.

Here’s the lineup: Nature’s Balance Gardening, Land Conservancy of West MI, Native Edge Landscaping, Kind Hearts Bloom, The Garden Guru, Kent Conservation District, John Ball Zoo’s Habitat Hero, Magical Mystery Meadows, Wild Ones River City, Plaster Creek Stewards, PLUS FOOD BY Le Chéile!
Join us for our second annual house plant swap! Plan on a fun, low-key event to share house plants and make some new planty friends!
How does a plant swap work? Bring healthy, pest-free houseplants or cuttings to share with others and be prepared to chat, trade & learn! We encourage you to arrive close to when the event starts as there will be time to browse all the plants before the swapping begins.
Our hosts, Shelly and Carey, will provide materials to label your plant(s) when you arrive. There will also be a $5 raffle for a mystery plant to take home as well as some giveaways. And again, there will be no plants for sale at this event - trades only!
PizzaMI will also be set up from 12-4pm slinging pizza!
