Calling all artists! SEE is hosting a “plein air” (outdoor) painting class on August 7th! Renowned oil painter, Cheryl St. John (@cherylstjohnart), will guide you through the process of creating a painting of a colorful, natural scene outside at The Shire (the property where SEE’s garden is).

Flowers have been a happy addition to our garden this year. We’re lucky to have #sunflowers that seeded themselves from last year all around (and inside, until they get too tall) our beds. #Marigolds can help repel pests, and they also bloom throughout the summer - a win/win. We started #zinnias, #calendula, #amaranth, and #poppies from seed, too, to feed the bees, increase biodiversity, and bring some color and fun into the space! Calendula and amaranth can also be used to make natural dyes, they each really deserve their own post.

Pick & Pay (& Peaches)! It doesn’t get any fresher than straight from the garden. Come visit the SEE Garden every Monday and Thursday from 3:00-5:00 to harvest your own herbs, veggies, and berries, and take home some Palisade peaches while you’re here! #fresh #produce #veggies #herbs #garden #communitygarden #peaches #summer #knowyourfarmer #localfood #slowfood #sustainableeducationalexperience
