Welcome to the Bo Tree Blog!

As we've traveled to different places, we've often dreamed of creating a unique business that builds upon the bookstore/café model by incorporating diverse elements for all ages: a greater range of dining experiences, indoor & outdoor theaters, educational opportunities, health and fitness practices, environmentally friendly products, and more.

It'll be 2019 before we can make this a reality so we're not as concerned with making realistic plans right now. Our focus now - and on this blog - is to incubate divergent and creative ideas with YOUR help.

So, we'd love for you to read a section at a time. They're organized along the right side of the screen & when selected, will appear below this introduction (you'll have to scroll down). Then let us know what you think (good or bad) through the blog comments or by emailing us at botree@gmail.com .

Thanks!

Retail / Rentals

Retail

Bo Tree will also carry a diverse selection of eco-friendly and certified fair-trade gifts, including: 

Ø  Organic Food

Ø  Greeting cards

Ø  Book accessories (bookmarks, booklights, etc.)

Ø  Fitness clothes and accessories

Ø  Journals/Diaries

Ø  Baby clothes and accessories

Ø  Kid’s Toys (focusing on classic, durable, eco-friendly products)

Ø  Unique kitchen accessories

Ø  Distinctive home decorations

Ø  “Green” tools (solar charger for personal electronics, countertop compost bin, Earthbox growing kit, etc.)

Ø  Locally produced artwork

Ø  Bo Tree Logo products (stickers, shirts, reusable bags, mugs/cups, etc.) 

The focus will be on providing a wide sample of quality products that customers may not have access to in traditional retail outlets or are pertinent to the other elements of Bo Tree.

Rentals

The close proximity of the Bogue Falaya river and the Tammany Trace bike path (with the new Covington Trail head) will create a market for kayak/canoe and bicycle rentals.  

This service will provide residents and tourists with a convenient and healthy mode of touring the local area.  As the program expands, guided tours may also be offered.
