Plants & Nature (From Fat Fridays!)
Each Fat Fridays Virtual Social Club (presented by NAAFA and hosted by me!) involves a themed discussion and game. The following information came from our March 2023 gathering with the theme of fat foliage—all things plants, gardening, nature, and springtime! What you’ll find in this list is a collaborative effort from our group discussions.
Want to join in on the fun? RSVP for our next event here!
