Community Organizing. Building. Growing. Cooking. Eating. Imbibing. Celebrating. Not necessarily in that order. Often simultaneously.
Life is dark and depressing, and then I walk in the woods and remember that all of human history is a blink, and the other animals (the ones that survive, at least) will celebrate our extinction.

This evening at the garden, Miss Betty will teach us how to make our own herbal tea blends! She's focusing on herbs to support our health with cold and flu season approaching. Of course, everyone is always welcome at the Mindful Living Garden!

Wow, this week's Mindful Living Garden happy hour was beyond amazing! Our theme was Cucumber, and everyone really stepped up, creating so many delicious things using this year's cucumber bumper crop. I'm so in love with the collaborative, mutually supportive community we've built at the garden.

This week's Community Garden Happy Hour theme is cucumber. My partner in crime, Miss Betty, is making agua fresca & 3 types of pickles, and i have 2 cucumber cakes in the oven. We're drowning in cukes from our gardens and are determined to use them all! ##UrbanGarden ##UrbsInHorto

Mindful Living Community Garden update: This week's Community Dinners harvest was so huge, and we're celebrating during tonight's garden Happy Hour. This week's featured ingredient is Staghorn Sumac that I foraged while in Wisconsin, which we'll use to make truly unique Arnold Palmers.

Garden update: the Passion flower is finally blooming! It looks like it came from outer space, but it's actually native!

Today's Mindful Living Garden donation to Community Dinners. While calling reps is important, there are so many things to can also do to immediately benefit your community. This pile of greens and veg will contribute to a salad feeding 120+ people!

Bumblebee party! There's hundreds of them on the wild roses! Turn the sound up, and you can hear the soft buzzing of hundreds of bees bumblin'.

This week's community garden happy hour could be our best yet! Guest bartender Nick Kokonas will preview the Belmont Tavern. Plus, I made this amazing service berry and rhubarb salsa that I can't wait to share!
