Treasures of Winter: four workshops at Findhorn

I'm organizing four workshops on the coming four Saturdays. Here's some information about them:

Come and connect to the abundance of the Winter season!

Craig Gibsone and Eveline Rodenburg invite you to four hands-on workshops around the theme of Winter that will renew your connection to seasonal preparations, to the land and to traditional herbal practices. We’ll be harvesting, gardening, preparing and cooking in Craig’s beautiful barrelhouse where the daily practice of permaculture is present all around.

Each workshop starts by walking around the garden looking at what can be harvested and what can be done this time of year. We might do the tiny first sowings under glass and prepare a dish with our harvest. Then - gathering around the warmth of the woodstove - we will make traditional remedies for coughs, colds, dry skin and other winter conditions.

Jam making: forty jars!

Just a peek into 'my' kitchen in the Findhorn Foundation: last week we made jam! We had quite a few gooseberries in the freezer and our fruit and veg supplier gave us a big box of bananas, peels blackened by the cold but still very nice inside. I had been hoarding jars for the last few months and now we filled them with a gooseberry - banana - ginger jam. The combination is delicious and the house will be able to enjoy this for at least a couple of weeks :D.

Tadaaa!
