Avon is such a darling little Town with such a friendly community. My soon to be 4 year old has been assisting with the efforts and is pleased to have his own herb business, 'The Golden Herb Shop,' i am sure he'll have many lovely little boy herbals to sell...

Won't you join me for the
Spring Garden Symposium ‘09
February 21, 2009
8:30 am Registration/refreshments
9:00 am Welcome
9:15 am Sustainable Gardening
Professor of Environmental Sciences, Richard Stockton College of New Jersey.
Sustainability is a term often used with large-scale agriculture but is equally applicable to home-level gardening. Sustainable gardening begins with site evaluation, soil testing and selection of appropriate plants, including heirloom varieties. Equally important is the maintenance of soil health, especially through the build up of soil organic-matter via techniques such as composting (regular and vermi-composting) and mulching. Many of these techniques lead to water conservation but more specific procedures, such as drip irrigation, should be considered.
Healthy soils lead to healthy plants that resist pests. However companion planting and other biological pest control methods are good practices.
10:30 am Break/refreshments
10:45 am The Rock Garden Unbound
Roz Bliss, painter, sculptor, organic gardener, and Monroe County Master Gardener.
A walk through Roz Bliss’s garden via her slide presentation and commentary detailing how to use rock garden plants and bulbs with perennials and edibles to have a year round esthetic experience when you step out of any door of your home. Construction techniques for long term easy maintenance will be covered.

Primitive scents
It's been frustrating getting going again on this blog, but with the weather turning cooler, the time has come to make room for stitching and herbs. Stitching penny rugs and turning the now dried harvest into something lovely that is.
I think I'll go forward by saying goodbye to a wonderful friend, my shop. It has been a long road since first stumbling upon this little building. I know, those of you who know me have heard, "I'm letting the shop go," a million times. 5 years went by so quick since my daughter was born, the shop was my friend at a time when I needed it most.

Back then. You can smell their presence still...fuel oil,
grease and cigars, now mixed with herbs -- heavenly!
Early Spring 2008
Shop windows at night.
The herbal nook, upon moving is it was painted a
brilliant orange, the old hoover vacuum corner.
Happy Holidays!
