      Neighbors visiting Throop Learning Garden on Sunday morning.Would you like to get some light exercise and relieve stress in the new year?

      By January Nordman

      The rains energized our plants. Sprouts abound. We even have a few early poppy blossoms.

      Join us this Sunday (8:30 a.m – 10:30 a.m.) as we appreciate the season. We will be planting penstemon, sages, and Catalina snap dragon, as well as some veggies. We will check our rain barrel, and find gratitude in a short mediation. We will also harvest green & herbs.

      This week we will immerse in the garden to discover the secrets the bees offer us. We will practice meditation, awareness exercises, and build a mason bee house for the garden. This an appropriate activity for ages 5 and up.

      We will have a brief garden meeting at 12:00 noon to discuss the garden needs, volunteers, special projects, and future workshops. We will also plan a more-in -depth planning meeting for February (date TBD).

      Many thanks to all who help our garden grow!

      January Nordman is Throop Learning Garden’s co-caretaker.
