Decorating for Christmas doesn’t have to mean a trip to the store or a hit to your wallet. Look around your house for items that can be reused or upcycled. Mason jars become charming candle holders or snow globes when filled with small decorations. Homemade ornaments are a fun way to personalize your tree. String popcorn or cranberries for a classic garland or cut shapes out of leftover cardboard and decorate them with paint or markers. Dried citrus slices and cinnamon sticks not only look beautiful but add a natural fragrance to your home.

Open to the public Monday - Friday! Breakfast is served from 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Lunch is served from 11:15 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

There are numerous important reasons for harvesting seeds. Biodiversity and cultural heritage empower us to maintain self-reliance and less dependence on commercial seed companies. I have often purchased seeds, looking forward to the beauty that will be coming, only to be disappointed with the actual seeds and their ability to produce as promised. I was eventually able to produce the gardens of my dreams, becoming a seed harvester in the process.
