NEW MOON PLANTING WORKSHOP

NEW  MOON  PLANTING  WORKSHOP

— Sunday, April 27^th 1pm – 3pm —

Come grow with us. We look forward to assisting you with getting your spring garden planted and growing!  Come join this workshop and learn more details of planting during the first days of the next new moon.  Plant some of the vegetables and herbs you wish to grow while you attend.  The weather will become warm soon so we will include warm weather plants such as chilies of various types.

We warmly welcome you to join us  April 27 from  1pm-3pm (the day after the new moon) at W.T.I.’s newly developing nursery & class site at the W.T.I. headquarters: 5835 Burwood Ave. Highland Park, CA., 90042.

We will begin with some “food for thought” for our “mind-soil” including esoteric readings on the spiritual aspects of flora, and “Poesic Art Works” for the first portion of the workshop and then proceed to the work of planting the types of vegetables and herbs participants are interesting in growing in this season.

“Gardening by the Moon, or more specifically, according to the phases of the Moon, is an idea that has been around for as long as humans have been growing their own food. It’s becoming more and more in vogue, cropping up (no pun intended) in books, blogs, and other educational materials coming out of the permaculture movement, “a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature.”

Those who swear by this ancient growing method say the water in both the ground and in plants are affected by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon, just like ocean tides are. Just as the tides are highest during the new and full phases of the Moon, this theory holds, seeds, too, will absorb the most water during these times.”    —    Farmer’s Almanac
