SUMMARY:Let’s Dig in the Dirt: Easy Projects to Jump Start Your Garden
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a “blah” yard that you’d like to enliven with more garden areas? Did you recently move into a new home and don’t know how to get started working on the landscape? Are you unable to decide what to plant? \nChristopher Cox is an avid DIY gardener and landscaper\, and in this free talk he will share a few fundamental garden projects that you can do to get momentum building towards your own garden haven\, even if you have zero experience or think you have a brown thumb. \nWith a combination of common sense\, lived experience\, and hands on practical knowledge (all shared with humility\, encouragement and an eye toward sustainable environments)\, he hopes to help you become addicted to working in your garden (just like he is at home!). \nWe will cover some easy planting projects\, basic landscaping projects\, and a few fun purchases you might choose to make to celebrate nature and feel more invested in your own home\, whether you live in an apartment or have four acres. \nSome of the projects are quick (one to three hours)\, and some might take you a weekend. But once you start gaining some confidence\, you will love working in your own evolving green space. \nHere are a few of the projects: \nEasy water garden for your patio \nMake a mulch path \nTake out your least favorite shrub or tree (addition by subtraction!) \nPlant a sedum garden \nPlant a tree or shrub in the middle of your lawn \nMake a bulb garden \nMini rock garden or stepping stones \nClick the link below to register directly with the teacher.  \nAbout your teacher and Willows End Garden and Nursery: Willows End is the garden (and fledgling nursery) at the home of Christopher and Erin Cox. They have owned the property in North Seattle since 2013. Christopher has been working over the course of a dozen years (and counting) to create a garden that lives up to his inspirations: cottage gardens\, wildlife and pollinator habitat gardens\, and gardens with four seasons of foliage and flowering interest (with a dash of food forest\, arts whimsy\, and private urban sanctuary to boot). \nAlong the way\, the garden became the dominant feature of Christopher’s life\, a pursuit that rewards with ever-increasing beauty and connection to nature. \n

SUMMARY:"Off-Season Seed Reading" Book Club - 5 sessions
DESCRIPTION:Co-hosted by 21 Acres and the Woodinville Farmers Market\, this free\, five-session “Off-Season Seed Reading” series will be a fresh and easy take on the typical book club. \nMark your calendars for January 10\, 17\, 24\, 31 and February 7\, from 10 AM to noon in the 21 Acres Sustainability library\, when we’ll explore How Carrots Won the Trojan War: Curious (but True) Stories of Common Vegetables by Rebecca Rupp. \nOver five weeks\, we’ll start reading the book together aloud as a group\, and you can finish in your own time. No requirement to buy the book! Join us for this second annual “Off-Season Seed Reading” Book Club during the slower season for a lively conversation around local food\, farming and other related topics. \nAccording to Goodreads\, “How Carrots Won the Trojan War is a delightful collection of little-known stories about the origins\, legends\, and historical significance of 23 of the world’s most popular vegetables. Curious cooks\, gardeners\, and casual readers alike will be fascinated by these far-fetched tales of their favorite foods’ pasts. Readers will discover why Roman gladiators were massaged with onion juice before battle\, how celery contributed to Casanova’s conquests\, how peas almost poisoned General Washington\, and why some seventeenth-century turnips were considered degenerate.” \nCancellation policy: \nSafety is our first priority. If existing or anticipated weather conditions pose a moderate to high risk to visitors and staff\, we will make the decision to cancel this event. In the event of cancellation\, registered attendees will be informed by email as soon as possible. Please make sure that the email address you provide during registration is accurate. \nIf you are feeling sick\, we kindly ask that you respect the safety of yourself and others by not coming to campus. Send an email to generalinfo@21acres.org or call us at (425) 481-1500 if you are unable to attend.

SUMMARY:Wild Weave with Willow
DESCRIPTION:Spend the day at 21 Acres with local basket weaver\, Erin Cox\, and learn a variety of basketry techniques while getting to know some of the weave-able plants that grow in the PNW.  \nAttention all adventurous weavers…who among you likes a little whimsy and is ready to let the willow speak to you? Who comes back from every hike or neighborhood walk with new natural goodies in their pockets? (a seed pod…cool rock…you know!) \nIf this is you…come make a wild weave treasure catcher. We’ll build our foundations using the random weave technique with rehydrated willow rods. Then it’s time to play. If you want to stick with ONLY locally farmed and forage materials we’ll have vines\, bark\, cedar cones\, cordage making supplies\, dried flowers and seed pods and other fun things to play with. If you want to branch out to other materials\, I have half a dozen different natural twines and some surprises to play with. \nEvery wild weave will be different\, so let your imagination go wild and tell your inner critic to be quiet! \nThe fun doesn’t end when you leave class…you now have a home for all your wild goodies. Decorate with flowers\, seedpods\, feathers\, mementos – whatever makes you happy. Even change them up with the season! \nI can’t wait to see what YOU create! \nThe maximum class size is 10 students\, minimum 6 students. Minimum age is 14 for this workshop. The workshop will be held in the downstairs meeting room next to the 21 Acres Farm Market. \nThe fee is $85. Click the link below to register directly with the teacher\, Erin Cox.  \nClass registration is NON-REFUNDABLE. However\, if you want to sell or give your spot to a friend\, I’m happy to welcome someone else in your place. Due to the nature of the projects (materials/soaking\, etc) and the small class sizes\, I’m unable to support refunds or credits. \nAbout your teacher: Erin Cox is a talented and knowledgeable weaver\, crafter and artist with a special reverence for plants. She’s also been a willow farmer since 2024\, when she joined the SnoValley Tilth Experience Farming Project in Carnation. She honors the cultural significance of farms\, which historically have provided much more than food\, including baskets\, trellises\, medicine\, wool\, and more. Her classes showcase a variety of unique weaving projects\, leveraging some plants that you’ll see here on the farm. You can follow her on her Instagram account or visit her at  www.fieldandforestcrafts.com  \n

SUMMARY:Cattail Wall-Hangings
DESCRIPTION:Spend the day at 21 Acres with local basket weaver\, Erin Cox\, and learn a variety of basketry techniques while getting to know some of the weave-able plants that grow in the PNW.  \nErin has been drawn to macrame for years. Many of the skills and projects can and do crossover with natural weaving. But a traditional macrame project with handwoven plant cordage instead of store-bought cotton rope would take a reeeeaaaallly long time to make. Super satisfying but way too long for a workshop. \nInsert shredded cattail – now we can make the background curtain in a flash and spend our time adding decorative twining\, knotting\, beads\, braiding and decorations on top. Everyone will learn the technique for making natural cordage\, a 5 strand flat braid\, and more! \nAll workshop materials have been harvested by hand sustainably and responsibly in the Puget Sound area. \nClass size max: 12 students | 6 minimum. Age minimum: 12 with accompanying adult (both attendees should purchase a ticket). The workshop will be held in the downstairs meeting room next to the 21 Acres Farm Market. \nThe fee is $71.60. Click the link below to register directly with the teacher\, Erin Cox.  \nClass registration is NON-REFUNDABLE. However\, if you want to sell or give your spot to a friend\, I’m happy to welcome someone else in your place.

SUMMARY:Farm Tour: Focus on Dry Farming
DESCRIPTION:Dry farming is a water-smart\, climate-adapted growing practice here in the PNW\, and in this era of rising temperatures and extended periods of drought due to climate change\, dry-farmed produce offers an important opportunity to bolster local food systems and our home gardens.   \nFarm Manager\, Ansley Roberts\, will lead a special farm tour focused on the dry farming trials here at 21 Acres\, including tomatoes\, squash\, and dry beans. You’ll learn how farmers grow produce varieties that need zero irrigation and taste absolutely delicious.  \nIn-person tours of the 21 Acres Farm are a great way to explore how agroecology\, soil health and land stewardship can build resilient local food economies and support direct climate action. Join us and uncover what farming in the Sammamish Valley looks like. Bring your questions! \nClick the link to register for this free tour. Details will be provided via Eventbrite after registration. \nThe Farm Walk is not ADA Accessible. Dress for the weather; wearing boots is strongly recommended. \nCANCELLATION POLICY \nSafety is our first priority. If existing or anticipated conditions pose a moderate to high risk to visitors and staff\, we will make the decision to cancel this event. \nIn the event of cancellation\, registered attendees will be informed of cancellations by 21 Acres as soon as possible. Please make sure that the email and phone number you provide during registration are accurate. \nIf you are feeling sick\, we kindly ask that you respect the safety of yourself and others by not coming to campus.

Everyone will learn the technique for making natural cordage\, a 5 strand flat braid\, and more! \nAll workshop materials have been harvested by hand sustainably and responsibly in the Puget Sound area. \nClass size max: 12 students\, 6 minimum. The workshop will be held in the downstairs meeting room next to the 21 Acres Farm Market. \nThe fee is $75. Click the link below to register directly with the teacher\, Erin Cox.  \nClass registration is NON-REFUNDABLE. However\, if you want to sell or give your spot to a friend\, I’m happy to welcome someone else in your place. Due to the nature of the projects (materials/soaking\, etc) and the small class sizes\, I’m unable to support refunds or credits. \nAbout your teacher: Erin Cox is a talented and knowledgeable weaver\, crafter and artist with a special reverence for plants. She’s also been a willow farmer since 2024\, when she joined the SnoValley Tilth Experience Farming Project in Carnation. She honors the cultural significance of farms\, which historically have provided much more than food\, including baskets\, trellises\, medicine\, wool\, and more. Her classes showcase a variety of unique weaving projects\, leveraging some plants that you’ll see here on the farm. You can follow her on her Instagram account or visit her at  www.fieldandforestcrafts.com  \n
