What's Happening in the Wild Garden this Winter

Some of the winter reading list
The yarn and crochet hooks are out, there’s a stack of books on the coffee table, and the teapot and cozy are getting multiple daily uses. It must be winter! I relish the short, cold, dark days of winter as a quieter time of rest, reflection and reading. But I’m not completely in hibernation mode here. I’m balancing the downtime with activities, plans and playing in the apothecary. And I have a few things on offer, whether you too are hibernating in your home or getting outdoors to enjoy the winter wonderland!

Evergreen Exploration
This Saturday I’m looking forward to heading to Williamsburg, Ontario to teach a class on conifers. The kind folks at Element Studios will be the hosts and it should be a great way to spend a winter’s afternoon. There’s still some spots open and tickets are available here.
Monthly Herbal Box
I’m getting February’s herbal box put together and spots for it are filling up fast. If you are interested in learning about herbs that can support the urinary system, and having remedies on hand that may help uncomplicated UTIs or swollen prostates, this box is for you. February’s class will explore this theme further. Show your kidneys some love!

March Break Nature Camp
Finally, I’m super excited about a meeting I just had with my good friends from Roots 2 Fruits, with whom I will be teaming up to offer a March Break Nature Camp. We’re still in the early planning stages, but what I can tell you is that it will run during the days from March 14 to 18th for kids ages 7-12. Activities will include nature connection and awareness exercises, bushcraft skills like shelter building, animal tracking and fire making and of course edible and medicinal plant ID and use (and games, lots of fun games!). We will be working out all the details in the next week or so, but if you have kids that might be interested, feel free to send me an email if you want to get on a contact list.
I hope everyone is staying warm and cozy!
