Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
Using stitches employed in Indian kantha and Japanese Boro stitching, we will completely refurbish a garment giving it a fresh, new look while meditating our way through stitches. This practice embraces a slow-making process, the love for gently worn, and repurposed materials. Ideal garments would be a nicely worn pair of jeans or jean jacket, a linen jacket, or vest. All levels are welcome.

Recycling your own garden debris – fallen leaves, logs and branches, and overwintered perennial clippings – is foundational to nurturing a healthy garden ecosystem. Keeping organic matter onsite fosters the development of fungal and invertebrate communities, builds soil, creates habitat for birds and insects, and saves labor and resources involved with material hauling. Just in time to plan for your spring garden cleanup, join us to learn easy and attractive ways to save and re-incorporate your garden’s precious organic matter!
