Details
Guided by Paul Boyter from 9 am - 1:30 pm for seasoned or beginner-level gardening enthusiasts.
Gardening could be considered to be a gift from nature to our conscious development, offering valuable insights and experiences throughout each of the four seasons. The only requirement on the path towards wholesome, nourishing food is an open mind and willing heart, ready to navigate Mother Nature’s teachings – it’s a journey of continuous learning.
Spring energy is returning once again, affording us another opportunity to expand on any current gardening knowledge.
