Take a walk through the Night Garden to learn about organizing, planning, and designing a permaculture garden; we’ll talk about historical garden design, sensory design decisions, companion planting, and choosing beneficial plants that support pollinators! You’ll go home with a potted plant of your choosing for your own garden.

Third Thursdays, June - September

Join us once a month between June and September for a relaxing evening walk through the garden and a chance to learn about how to harvest specific herbs in bloom. Each month we’ll focus on a specific plant or plant(s), learning about their best practices for harvest and processing, the herbs’ culinary and medicinal uses, and different preparations, and you’ll take home bunches to share with family and friends!

Join us in the Night Garden to learn everything you need to know about Milky Oat Tops - the fresh, unripe seeds of oats. For about a week in June, these seeds release a sweet, milky substance rich in magnesium, iron, and calcium. At this workshop, you’ll learn about the oats’ medicine and get a chance to harvest them from the garden. We’ll go over how to process them into a tincture, and you’ll get to take some home.

Wander through the garden and learn about the various herbs in bloom and their medicinal qualities to get some inspiration for what kind of tea blend you might be interested in creating! Then we’ll go over the basics of tea blending and create a unique blend to take home, tailored to your needs and tastes.

Come bask in the sun, dig up some weeds, plant some seedlings, harvest some sweet-smelling herbs, and get your hands dirty with a crew! Weekly volunteer days are Thursday from 10:00 am -2:00 pm beginning Thursday, June 1. Come for as long as you can make it, and bring friends of all ages and abilities!
