We Opened Our House and Lived to Tell About It

Hi everyone! I know you have been on the edge of your seat waiting to see what crazy shenanigans we are have been up to! well, wait no further...here's an update!

Yesterday Wisdom of the Elders hosted our first open house at our new location. We spent all day scrubbing, sweeping and sweating over the stove in preparation. Members of the board, new friends from Learning Gardens Laboratory and other members of the Wisdom community came to enjoy the massive amounts of food we prepared while basking in the glorious late-summer dusk.

One of the highlights of the evening was the huge amounts of Raita that Emma made with some of the cucumbers we have been swimming in ever since the plants in the yard surprisingly decided they were exceptionally pleased with their situation.

It was nice to meet new people, hear about everyone's exciting projects and share ours. The plan is to have an open house once a season so stay tuned!

Speaking of climate change, check out this amazing film about the Native inhabitants of the Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia and their fight against big oil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3bKmz4od3g
