"When people ask me what I learned at The Sacred G

"When people ask me what I learned at The Sacred Gardener school, I have trouble finding the words to share.
Yes, I learned real tangible things. I learned new plants, I learned medicine making, I learned about growing, cultivating, processing and cooking with wild and domesticated plants. I touched, tasted and experienced in an embodied way.
But that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface.
It wasn’t so much learning, but remembering. And what I remembered was so ancient, so personal yet universal at the same time.
I came home to myself. To the Earth. And to the unseen. My eyes were opened and I saw things, as if for the first time. And that seeing is with me now always.
What Steven and Megan helped me remember in my time at the school has changed me forever. And I am forever grateful.
If you feel the call, I invite you to sign up for this year’s school, which is almost full."

Giving thanks for the good people who came out yes

Giving thanks for the good people who came out yesterday to our first Incense making workshop!

Steven opened the workshop with teaching on smoke and meditation, then Megan shared her journey in experimenting and creating incense cones from local plants and resins.

Some people made one of her recipes, others chose to experiment, smelling all the plants and resins, choosing their unique blend.

We’ll offer this again next fall, maybe sooner!

This time of year, when all my garden friends and

This time of year, when all my garden friends and wild herbs have
called it for the season, I spend a lot of time with my trees. Actually,
now that I think about it, the fall is the time of trees for everyone in
these parts because of the blazing colours. Even after they lose their
leaves, there’s something universal about the love of trees through the
dark months.

In the north it doesn’t take faith or even reason to know why we love
trees through the year. They are standing proof that part of us lives on
and can endure the dark seasons. Only to rise again
into triumphant flower. And this doesn’t just happen once, but for many,
many years. The trees teach us that when we come out of the dark cold
months we are revitalized, and able to rise up in more glory each year;
That the dark time is not “the end” but part of the cycle of growth.

That pinch we feel in the fall/winter, with loss of all the annual
plants and leaves. The melancholy pale ‘fall’ light diminishing day by
day into the cold cellar of Winter Solstice. This end-of-year time holds
a clear presence of ‘the end’. The green Earth’s end, and our end. So it
seems natural to turn to the trees because they live beyond the smaller
cycles of life and death we’re so concerned with. Deep inside their
trunk time stands very still, and there they dance to the curvature of
the seasons, within the stillness of eternity.

There has been no other thing or person in my life that has given me
such great ongoing satisfaction as trees have. I’ve had my special trees
all my life but these days I mostly enjoy those I am growing.

Specifically fruit (mostly apple and pear) and nut trees. The Chinese
proverb says if you want happiness for a week find a lover, for a month
eat a slaughtered pig and for a lifetime plant a garden. I might add to
that if you want happiness beyond this lifetime, plant trees. People
use the expression “exciting as watching grass grow”, but seriously those
people should try watching trees grow, few things can give that degree
of ongoing satisfaction and pleasure.

Red Squirrels love mushrooms! They collect them in

Red Squirrels love mushrooms! They collect them in the fall, drying them first on evergreen branches before storing them in their food caches.

Squirrels have the ability to eat poisonous mushrooms, so don’t take notes on what’s edible for us on what they’re drying.

Animal brilliance.

Have you seen this and wondered what was happening?
