Shen Yun 2022
2022-03-18 19:30 | Pioneer Center, 100 S. Virginia St., Reno, NV, 89501
Shen Yun is a brilliant artistic revival and celebration of China’s rich cultural heritage. Each performance consists of about 20 pieces, quickly moving from one legend, region, or dynasty to the next. Themes range from the delicate elegance of Tang court ladies to the battlefield heroics of valiant generals, from the timeless philosophical works of Lao-Tzu to spectacular scenes of magical realms. Some pieces also touch upon the topic of today’s China, shedding light on the oppression many experience for their spiritual beliefs, such as Falun Dafa. These tales of courage are often what audience members find the most touching and uplifting.

Straw Bale Gardening Class
2022-03-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Rail City Garden Center, 1720 Brierley Way, Sparks, NV, 89434
Learn how to garden using straw bales instead of traditional gardening methods! Fun and easy for the whole family.
Straw Bale Gardening is simply a different type of container gardening. The main difference is that the container is the straw bale itself and is held together with two or three strings. Once the straw inside the bale begins to decay the straw becomes “conditioned” compost that creates an extraordinary plant rooting environment. Getting the straw bales conditioned is an essential part of the process, and should be started two weeks prior to your target planting date wherever you are located. This gardening technique works well anywhere in the country or the world for that matter.

The Go-Go's
2022-03-25 19:00 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Formed amid LA’s burgeoning punk and new wave scene in the late ’70s, the Go-Go’s got their start playing seminal venues like The Whiskey A Go Go and The Roxy. For their 1981 debut LP Beauty and the Beat, the band eschewed their early punk sound in favor of a more radio-friendly brand of power pop — with phenomenal results. The album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, spawning the hit singles “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat” and earning the girls the Best New Artist award at the 1982 Grammys. 1982 follow-up Vacation was a similar success, landing two more hits on the charts and going on to be certified Gold by the RIAA. Following an initial breakup in 1985, the band’s members embarked on various solo ventures, reuniting periodically over the years to record and tour. Back on the road for another highly anticipated tour, the Go-Go’s will bring their signature energy to venues around the country.

Bonnie Raitt
2022-03-30 19:00, 2022-03-30 20:00 | Grand Sierra Resort, 2500 E 2nd St, Reno, NV
Bluesy singer/songwriter Bonnie Raitt has worked long and hard for her multiple Grammy Awards, hit singles and chart-topping records. Since her 1971 eponymous debut, the California-born performer and long-time activist has steadily maintained a music career, albeit with definite peaks and valleys. The red-headed songstress, one of the only women of her time to play guitar using the bottleneck technique, unleashed seven albums in just nine years, though her big commercial break came with her 10th studio set, 1989’s “Nick of Time.” That 11-track collection, produced by Don Was, earned three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
Not only has the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer tackled multiple U.S. tours and international runs, but she’s also a frequent participant in events of social activism, such as Farm Aid and Amnesty International concerts.
Raitt’s 16th full-length album and most recent studio release, “Slipstream,” hit retailers in 2012. Not only did ticket sales for the support tour soar, but Raitt also landed the best-selling blues album of the year and took home the Grammy for Best Americana Album.

The 11th Annual LCF Plant Sale
2022-04-17 10:00 - 14:00 | Too Soul Tea, 542 ½ Plumas St., Reno
Last year we cancelled the actual sale day due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. This year we will have a sale day, and we will follow all protocol for doing so in a safe and careful manner. The easiest way to do this will be to have a lot of preorders so that plants are already packed up and easy to hand over to you on the sale day. Thus, we encourage people to preorder their plants, which hopefully will be easy to do through the new online store! What? Yeah! Check it out!
It’s only a tab away up in the menu bar at the top of the screen. This page is still super useful, however, because the shop does not have any of the detailed information about the plants – you have to use the catalog to find all of that, and then go to the store to submit your order.

The Loping Coyote Farms plant nursery offers you access to a whole suite of plants that we use ourselves in our edible food forests and ecological farming systems in the Reno area. The species and cultivars that make the cut in the nursery are those that we have found to work best for us in the harsh climatic conditions of our Eastern Sierra/Great Basin area. We offer plant representatives from all the layers of a food forest, from the roots and herbs up to the giant emergent canopy plants. We have attempted to offer plants representing all of the functions that an edible forest ecology entails, from fruit and nut production to nitrogen fixation, insectary and ground cover. Our hope is to help spread interest in perennial-plant-based systems by giving local people the plants they need to get these systems going in their own ground. We do also love our annual veggies and flowers, so we offer some of those plants as well.

Our 2021 Plant Catalog is officially UP. It’s an exciting well-rounded offering this year, and the catalog is full of good information, so please either download the catalog or read it here on the website, and enjoy! You can place your plant orders using our brand new Online Store. If the online store isn’t to your liking, just send us an email with your list of plants. There is none of the detailed plant information on the store, so the plant catalog is still the place to go to get familiar with the offerings before purchasing on the store. If there’s a specific plant you want and you don’t see it in the catalog, let us know. We may be able to get it for you. For a list of our all our previous offerings, check out our LCF Master Plant List.
Also, don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter so you can be sure to get a reminder about the plant sale, or to know when each year’s new catalog is up. We still accept cash and checks through the online store, as well as credit cards and PayPal. Please contact us with any questions or requests. Happy planting dreams!

An Evening to RAVE About! A Night in the City
2022-04-23 18:00 - 22:00 | Eldorado Resort Casino, 345 N. Virginia Street, Reno, NV, 89501
Family-style dining, silent and live auctions, raffle, entertainment, beer and wine. To benefit the R.A.V.E. Family Center:
Providing respite to families caring for children with special needs while training high school volunteers to work with these very special children.
Families that have children with special needs have their own special need: the need for time. That means time for mom to enjoy a workout. Time for couples to enjoy a date night. Or for families to catch a movie, go bowling, play Scrabble or settle into a nice, quiet storytelling session. Those are the kinds of pleasures and pastimes that go a long way toward giving you peace, power and the ability to connect with yourself and others who are occasionally lost in the process of focusing on a child with special challenges.
In the meantime, while you’re enjoying your own moment of reprieve, your child with special needs is likely enjoying his or her own form of respite and discovery as well.
Creating these healthy moments of escape is what RAVE is all about, little “time outs” with tremendously positive outcomes.
