Seminars:
We enjoy sharing what we are learning with others. Listed are several programs I have presented for garden clubs, church groups, schools, library programs, etc. The months listed are peak times for bringing beautiful samples.
- The Delights of Eating with the Seasons
- Eating Local around the Calendar
- Gourmet Salad Gardening (April-June, Sept-Oct)
- Heirloom veggies (Aug/Sept)
- Edible Flowers (May-Oct)
- Edible Weeds(May-Oct)
- Flower Crafts - hollyhock dolls, daisy chains, cornhusk dolls and more
The charge for a local 30 minute program for a group of 15 or fewer is $30-40 depending on topic. Conferences/organizations starting at $75 plus expenses.
Hands on Seminars
You choose a topic, invite friends to your home, and I will share input and demonstrations plus give out handouts, tasters, etc. Seminars are 1-1/2 to 2 hours and the cost is $8-12/person depending on topic. This is a great alternative to a Tupperware or candle party and everyone still has a chance to fellowship plus go home with new skills to try.
- Cold Frame seminar (Aug/Sept)
- Home Dairy - making butter, yogurt and soft cheese
- Basic Cheesemaking - soft cheese varieties plus a simple hard cheese
- Growing and Cooking with Herbs - easy basics for busy cooks
- Growing Heirloom Veggies and Seed Saving
- Growing and Arranging Cut Flowers - ideas for varieties, planting schedules and vases
- Using Nourishing Traditions cookbook - ideas on lacto-fermentation, soaking grains, etc
- Papermaking - a great recycled craft, participants design 2 handmade cards to take home
