Get hands-on experience on how some wild plants are processed for grain, flour, and essential oils. We'll see how to shell, grind, process and leach acorns so that they transform into wonderful additions to breads, muffins, pancakes, and pudding. By the end of the workshop we'll have gone from bitter acorns in the shell to a sweet acorn pudding that any normal human would enjoy. Also learn how to make a distillation setup from simple kitchen ware. We'll make a distillate from mint that you could use to flavor teas, use in cooking or aroma therapy.
Volunteer for National Public Lands day at the Johns Community Garden. We will re-define pathways and plots, tame the blackberry hedges, and beautify the front area.
Rocket stoves use easily accessible reused materials and cutting-edge engineering to burn wood super-efficiently and cleanly. Using a renewable resource without the pollution so common to woodstoves, rocket stoves can be used to heat a thermal mass that releases its warmth slowly over time. This allows nearly all the energy from the exhaust to be absorbed as it runs along an extended pipe right through the heavy, heat-absorbing material, leaving relatively cool air to exit the chimney.
Patios in garden rooms, the art of paths, the functional grace of a well-placed wall—what are your hardscape desires?

Bring beauty and structure to your garden!
