Joy Garden! Practices to cultivate daily delight
This creative garden planning workshop will help you make a commitment for more joy in your life and your garden.
In this online gathering, we will create a practice to interact with our gardens around the idea of joy. This begins with an intention–asking yourself, what will bring YOU joy? Then this becomes your motivation, not a perfect garden you see in magazines, but one you will enjoy spending time in and sharing with others.

Autumn Wreath Crafternoon
Join us for a creative and restful craft session amidst the fleeting glory of autumn at our flower farm. Wreaths are reminders of the bounty of summer, as the days grow short and winter arrives. They are a reminder of the abundance of the garden and nature. Surrounded by the vibrant colors of autumn, you will learn how to craft your very own wreath with the gorgeous flowers and gorgeous we grew–millet, oats, wheat, amaranth and other grasses and sunflowers.
We will share tips and techniques to guide you through the process from start to finish working with a 6” wreath base; including tips for how to dry flowers, and how to make a base from natural grapevine. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a complete beginner, you’ll find joy in the process of creating something special with your own hands. Finished wreaths will vary in size from 10-12”.
This is a time to slow down and to connect with nature, creativity, and community. Leave with a gorgeous handmade wreath made and replenished from a day at the farm, sipping tea and enjoying each moment.
Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today and get ready to make your holiday season even more meaningful!

EARTH ARTISTRY WORKSHOPS April 2024
Building with cob is an ancient practice that uses the materials right under our feet. We use local clay soil, sand and straw to create incredibly durable & beautiful artistic structures. We mix the luscious red soil with the other elements, & while the elemental materials are still wet, we mold it by hand into the structure that we want, adding bottles, tiles, niches, arches, stones—anything our heart desires. We smooth it out, then, we plaster it with a variety of colors of earthen pigments. And then we let it dry in the sun and the wind harden it into a strong, permanent structure with artful clay plasters. Cob is perfect for garden walls, outdoor kitchens, composting toilet bathrooms, almost anything one can imagine!
These workshops are part of a continuing skill-building series we began in last year with the foundation for a cob garden wall to help mitigate flooding and create a sacred gathering space and goddess bath. We will be continuing to offer earth artistry experiences at Wild Heart Farm this spring with our friends Antigone Allena and Erin Shepard from Oregon.
Building with earth elements is joyful as we create a community in the old way-working together, laughing together and eating together. The result is a beautiful work of art that is at home on the land and lifelong friends.

Hands-on Soil Building Workshop
Sheet Mulching to Build Better Soil
Come and spend a few hours doing a garden project on our farm to learn more about regenerative farming practices such as soil care, cover crops, planting, weed management and water conservation. During this session we will team up to sheet mulch an area on the farm for planting later this season. You will leave with new tools for gardening in your own backyard.
We will begin with a farm tour to demonstrate how we have used sheet mulching, and check out a couple areas to see it in various states of breakdown. We limit these volunteer sessions to 6 people so we can remain socially distanced. Bring a sack lunch and water and work gloves. We will send you home with flowers! The workshops are weather dependent. Fill out the form below to register and we will stay in touch and contact you with details as the day approaches.
