TARWEED SEEDS

Purple crocuses booming!
Crocuses are one of the first flowers to bloom in the spring!

Can you believe it's almost the spring equinox? We hope you are all finding some time for tending to the land, each other, and yourself — to be outside and rejuvenate with the emerging plants and sunshine.

 

The Tarweed Steering Committee has been hard at work this winter, taking a deep dive into some strategic planning and organizational capacity building. Later this spring we will reach out with class dates and our 2025 lineup, but for now we want to highlight a few upcoming events in the community that you won't want to miss!

What an amazing weekend of September classes! Folks learned how to weave baskets, carve spoons, make acorn flour, fix their bikes, woodwork, and more!


We had so much fun at our pizza potluck too, sharing what we learned and connecting with new friends over yummy wood-fired pizza. We want to thank everyone who participated in a class, as a teacher, learner, or pizza eater!

This Sunday is the Autumn equinox! As we celebrate this season of change, we embrace the cooler days and share the bounty of Autumn harvest with our friends, neighbors, and community.


Teachers and Steering Committee members are hard at work this week preparing all the last-minute details and logistics for our upcoming weekend of classes!
