Scenes from fall at our educational gardens at Rio Fernando Park.

The gardens served as a learning space for a THS Career Experience Opportunity (CEO) class, CEO interns, Natural Resource interns, two garden apprentices, Rivers & Birds, our new Afterschool in the Park middle school program, and our NM Youth Conservation Corps group. Thanks to the many hands who have contributed. Garlic is in the ground and we're already looking forward to next season!

We are deeply grateful for the funding support by Environmental Education of NM and NM Outdoor Recreation Division for our garden education programs and LOR Foundation for our turkey program.Thank you.

Well this is cool.

Check out the germination at Rio Fernando Park after these recent rains. The comparison between areas the goats have grazed and haven't grazed is pretty remarkable. This germination is without any seeding in these areas for over the past year.

Want to see your own bare soils turn green? Check out our grazing program and you can borrow our goats for your land, too.

Grazing program funded by with support from THS' CEO interns and interns.

For several years, we have hosted Aunt Nannie’s Seed Exchange as a community resource to maintain access to free seed, either donated by seed companies or saved and donated by local farmers and backyard growers.

With the support of UNM-Taos and The Harwood Museum of Art , we are moving this resource out of our cluttered office and into a new community seed shed in Rio Fernando Park. This will be a space open to the public to browse, take, and share free seeds.

The building of the shed itself has been the work of many hands. Students from elementary schools across Taos have been building adobe bricks with Harwood Museum of Art to contribute to the shed. Taos High’s CEO interns, the Logan School, and UNM-Taos’ Mud Club have also contributed. Volunteers from Taos Timebank have contributed time to seed sorting and labeling.

Join us at the Re-Earthing Futures Festival on October 10th where you can learn more about the seed shed and even lend a hand in making your own brick to contribute to the project!

KINection Garden’s Phase 1 is nearly complete! You are invited to celebrate the kick-off and grand opening of this new community space with us on October 10th, 10:30am, as a part of our upcoming Re-Earthing Futures Family Festival.

The KINection Garden, designed by artist Carol Padberg , is a living artwork that builds soil, provides ecological art materials, and helps participants connect with the land through self-guided walks, children’s playscapes, a dye and fiber garden commons and waffle garden.

October 10th wraps up Phase 1 of this initiative. We will be continuing work over the next two years to build immersive playscapes and creative play stations for children.

The Re-Earthing Futures Family Festival on October 10th is a free event, featuring frito pies, music, demos, workshops and MORE. We’ll be rolling out more info throughout the next couple weeks, so stay tuned.

Thanks to the sponsors, supporters, and partners for the KINection Garden: , .S. Bank, , , , and Baltazar Reed of Tasker Services
