This past Tuesday, January 26th was Conservation Day at the Indiana Statehouse. Blooming Branch worked with the folks at the Nature Conservancy to plan a Green Dessert Reception for legislators,interested community members and the like.
Our friends at the Juniper Spoon worked with Blooming Branch to make this the most local and sustainable Conservation Day yet! The menu was oh so local with fun items such as paw paw cookies, mini Indiana apple pies all topped off with some Traders Point Creamery milk. The food was amazing (of course) and Blooming Branch worked with Juniper Spoon to ensure the following green commitments:
Use of entirely biodegradable or 100% post-consumer paper products (7th Generation napkins and Planet to-go cups)
Composting of all non-meat food scraps
Recycled all recyclable materials
Served Fair Trade Coffee
Used ONLY local organic pasture raised eggs
Buy all ingredients from Montgomery County first; and purchase organic when possible
Grow their own fruits & veggies in our half-acre garden and orchard
Support local economy by purchasing local products
Thanks Juniper Spoon and the Nature Conservancy. Cant wait to work with these outstanding folks again soon!

Blooming Branch Green Events loves the state of Indiana. As avid environmentalists, we will do anything in our reach to help preserve and protect the great natural places in this state. That’s why we are thrilled to tell you about our upcoming event on Tuesday, January 26th.
Blooming Branch has the distinct privilege of working with the folks at The Nature Conservancy and the Indiana Conservation Alliance to plan the 6th annual Conservation Day at the Indiana State House. Our friends from The Juniper Spoon will be there as well to treat everyone to an organic and local dessert reception in the Statehouse Rotunda.
Conservation Day is an incredible opportunity to show our elected officials that Hoosiers care about protecting our precious natural resources and preserving our environment. Not only is there a chance to engage legislators in matters that mean the most to us, but we’ll also have the chance to learn more about conservation organizations throughout the state.
Remember, the more people that attend Conservation Day, the bigger the impact. Carpool with co-workers, friends and family or take a brisk walk to the statehouse, and help make a difference!
