Day of Discovery, Learning and Good Company

The Zoomers enjoyed a truly engaging and informative day. The group met first to explore Findley Lake’s newest business, Organic Blooms. Co-owner Michelle Brumagin, welcomed and led an educational tour filled with thoughtful insights and lively discussion. Michelle generously shared her knowledge and answered questions.

Each participant left with a tote bag full of helpful resources and take-home materials including information on the history of human use of cannabis and the medical conditions and symptoms it may help address, making the experience both memorable and meaningful.

After the tour, many continued the day at Alexander’s on the Lake, gathering over great food and even better conversation.

A heartfelt thank you to Organic Blooms and Alexander’s on the Lake for helping make this day such a success!
