"Just Because" festival and Work Day

What fun it was this weekend in Madison! Several Spirit Gardeners made their way out there -- me, Anna, Paty, Bonnie -- as well as some of our local organic gardening gurus such as Herman and Louise Holley of Turkey Hill Farm and Cynthia Connelly of LadyBird Organics. Cynthia gave an outstanding talk on the wonders of wheatgrass, and Herman shared some good growing tips. We also caught presentations on organic pest management and planning a spring garden. Of course, walking around B's greenhouse, we got an armload of good ideas (and some plants).

Don't forget to come out for the "WeMoon-ifestation" work party on Saturday, February 12, from about 9 to about 2. We needs lots of help getting the house, grounds, and garden ready for spring!
