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!

Green Spaces Alliance will be hosting a Night Skies Workshop at Bulverde Oaks Nature Preserve, located within the CBSL project area. During this program, we’ll explore why protecting the night sky matters and how light pollution affects the JBSA training mission. Participants will learn how everyday lighting choices impact wildlife, energy use, and even home security—and how night-sky-friendly lighting can make a positive difference.

We’ll then turn our attention to the stars with telescopes provided by the Hill Country Alliance. And of course, we’ll gather around a small campfire to enjoy warm drinks and s’mores while taking in the night sky.

Free! Please RSVP with the link provided
