The purpose of this group is to offer support and encouragement to anyone that has undergone an amputation or is facing an amputation as well as their caregivers and loved ones. The meetings will provide a place to share experiences, ask and answer questions, and provide educational opportunities through community resources and experts in the field. Join this group to get connected to other individuals who know what life is like as an amputee.
Join us to attack the invasive blackberry and Scots broom that threaten our beautiful natural area. We’ll also remove plant protectors that are no longer needed.

We will provide weed wrenches for the BIG stuff, and lots of encouragement.

Colorful dye can be extracted from flowers from the garden for dying textile fiber. These floral dyes are eco-friendly and all organic, not like synthetic dye. Moreover the procedure is very cost-effective and easy to learn.
Vermiculture, or worm box composting, is a process in which red wiggler worms (also called manure worms) and micro-organisms are used to convert kitchen fruit and vegetable waste into nutrient-rich humus, “black gold”. Gardens and potted plants love the addition of this becoming healthier and more robust.
