Together we’ll explore the relationships between gardens\, farms\, and textiles while experimenting with wet felting techniques and need-felting with wool\, papermaking with flax\, and even making our own wet-felted soaps.\nEver think about how the clothes you wear come from farms and gardens? Together\, we’ll learn how wool comes from sheep who graze on grasses and meadows\, how linen comes from the flax plant\, and even how plants like teasel have been historically used in the textile industry.\nJoin us to indulge in the softness of some our favorite plant and animal farm friends\, and we’ll explore how softness is a super power!\n\n\n\nGrowing family wellness through plants and play. \nFood is medicine—and the garden is our classroom! Through hands-on exploration across the Greenhouse & Education Center’s learning garden\, greenhouse\, and teaching kitchen\, Family Farmacy invites families to learn together about how plants support healthy bodies\, curious minds\, and open hearts. Each week\, families will engage in joyful\, drop-in workshops where they can grow\, make\, and taste their way through seasonal lessons in gardening\, herbalism\, cooking\, and plant-based arts. From crafting home remedies and harvesting herbs\, to cooking garden-fresh meals and making nature-inspired art\, children and caregivers alike will discover how to care for themselves\, each other\, and the earth.\n\nNote: We very generously interpret family here at the greenhouse. We know that welcoming everyone of all ages makes us storng and vibrant. Elders\, children\, youth\, young adults–everyone is welcome and appreciated. We know that caregivers come in many forms–chosen family\, birth family\, those who need the love of family are all welcome. \n\n \n\n\n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible. With prior planning\, we can add a few small mats onto the pebbled ground of greenhouse to make a small wheel-chair accessible path. Our learning garden has grass paths\, and the entrance is through a gate with a small\, raised entrance. Our tables can be lowered/raised\, and we have several backless benches or stools. Our kitchen is in regular use\, and while we try to cook without peanuts\, much of our cookware is shared and we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment. We have a first aid kit\, and the closest AED is in another building several yards away. Drinking water is made available in refillable pitchers. \nWhen inside the greenhouse and kitchen we will open our double-doors and windows to vent the space and encourage masking and social distancing when in more closed-in spaces. \nOur closest bathrooms are a building away\, about a one-minute walk. A gender neutral bathroom is also available\, and this is accessible by key which you can request from staff.

Using fresh\, seasonal produce\, herbs\, and simple brines\, everyone will build a customized mix to take home. \nThe session explores pickling as a way cultures around the world preserve early harvest foods and extend the life of the garden. This accessible\, sensory activity invites participants to engage with color\, texture\, and flavor while reflecting on seasonal eating\, food preservation\, and shared food traditions.\n\n\n\nChef Keesha is a passionate culinary artist and entrepreneur dedicated to celebrating global flavors while promoting health and well-being through food. As the founder of Live Loud Foods\, she creates innovative\, plant-based dishes inspired by her diverse cultural heritage and commitment to community empowerment. Her teaching philosophy centers on making cooking approachable\, fun\, and a powerful tool for connection\, showing that every dish can tell a story and foster shared experiences.\n\n\n\nIn Sauté Sizzle Savor\, we invite participants to come together in the Greenhouse Education Center around the kitchen table to share in the harvest of our weekly CSA share. In a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model\, community members and farmers build a reciprocal and mutually-beneficial relationship—community members support farmers by sharing the risk and paying upfront so that farmers can focus on stewarding the land while farmers provide community with healthy\, organic\, and sustainably grown produce at an affordable price that goes directly into the farm’s pockets. \nIn these weekly sessions\, we invite participants to gather and build community as we share recipes\, food stories\, and helpful tips for how to cook with the plants that are in season. Each week\, participants can expect to be guided by food-workers\, culture-bearers\, chefs\, farmers\, elders\, or food-system thought visionaries who will lead us in both cooking class and critical conversation that has us consider how we share the foods we grow in community. \n\n\n\nWorkshops are rain or shine. \nAccessibility: Our kitchen/classroom space is wheelchair accessible.
