Come one come all to a hands on weekly tea brewing class. Learn the simple steps to brewing a perfect, organic, all natural cup of hot or glass of iced tea any time. Do it at home, at work, on the road, literally anywhere you can get hot water (or cold water for cold brewed teas).

We will take all the mystery and angst out of tea brewing and explore the many health benefits of loose leaf and herbal teas. Find the one that is right for you with over 100 flavors and endless flavor combinations.

See you Friday evening!
Open to all ages . . .

Join us as we take you through the various native and pollinator seed mixes and how to create a successful wildflower landscape in your space.

Learn how to beautify your garden and create a welcoming space for local wildlife. Wildflowers native to our region can also help with landscape water conservation because they are adapted to our dry climate and can be watered less frequently than non-native landscape plants. We will discuss how to prepare a space in your yard to make a beautiful native wildflower landscape for your viewing pleasure and our pollinator friends. FREE SEEDS to get your garden started!
