At the August Rituals of Remembering today, we came together to talk about how we stay in touch with our loved ones who are no longer accessible to us in the same way. We also celebrated Alyssa’s birthday, recognizing how much beauty and love she brings to this space. We are always grateful for days spent with our beautiful garden community in this beautiful space! Join us for our next Garden Workday on Sunday, September 13 and our next Rituals of Remembering in the Garden on Saturday, September 26.
