Friends of the Johnson Nature Center has partnered with locally renowned chefs to bring the community a unique Forest to Table strolling dinner experience at the Johnson Nature Center in Bloomfield Township. 


Chefs will intertwine Michigan native and invasive species of flora and fauna as ingredients in the dishes served throughout a quarter mile trail. Guests will have an opportunity to connect with their natural environment and engage their senses as they stroll the trails to taste chefs’ creations and learn about forest food and its relationship with our ecosystem.  There will be live music, open bar, unique performing artists, and interactive demonstrations that will shed light on the ecological issues we face in our hyperlocal environment. 

This will be a celebration of culinary delights, ecological conservation, connection with nature, and community collaboration that you won't want to miss! 


*course menu will be released ahead of the event*


Early bird pricing is only through July 14!   General admission $200, VIP $275.  Space is limited.

Regular pricing GA $225, VIP $300
