Plant Sale Recap
It has been months since we planted our first seeds in February for our beautiful state flower, the Columbine. Columbine seeds require stratification, a process of putting the seeds in the fridge at night and bringing them back out into the light during the day. Every morning, we loving brought the seeds into the light, and every evening, put them back into the cold they love. We were rewarded with high germination rates, and lots of baby columbines to care for. Shortly after we planted the columbines, we planted violas, pansies, bell peppers, and kale. Each week brought new seeds, and with...

We were hoping that our donors could help us to reach our $30,000 goal in order to receive a $15,000 matching grant. Our donors are all very generous and supportive of our organization, and it very much is a “grass-roots” organization. Most of our donations are between $1 and $100. And we are grateful. The call came about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. “Peggy” asked for me, and she quickly explained that she did not have much...
Read MoreWelcoming Spring, Together
Despite the snow and many cold days, Spring is finally on the way. As a native Texan trying to make it through my first Colorado winter, I am more than ready for Spring to make an appearance. Recently in Workshop I picked a poem for reflection titled Winter’s End. Our participants and staff lovingly corrected me that the true end of Winter was weeks, if not months, away. (OK, some of them gave me a good natured laugh as well!) Perhaps it was wishful thinking. I am more than ready to see leaves on trees, wildflowers and weeds growing beside the road and my feet in sandals. It seems I will...
