HEARTITUDE

Heartitude: my word for  "a place of stillness where one can experience boundless grace and compassion"
I love the natural world around me and am constantly looking for new ways to respond to the things I learn by observing.
My excitement about my findings makes me want to share what I learn with others. 
I invite you to join me when you can, and hopefully you too will find new ways of seeing the world of plants, flowers, animals and seasons under our feet and all around us. I don't want anyone to miss the small gifts we are blessed to receive.

Class Details:  In this month's class we will create a garden journal page. Year after year, I think I will remember what I planted, its name, how tall it grew and whether it liked sun or shade.

Let's organize all those notes, create beautiful little quick sketches and label everything on a spread that will not only be beautiful but a great way to begin next year's garden.
