Making centrepieces for holiday feasts is a great reason to explore trails or to visit friends with great gardens. Stop in with some homemade jams, pickled beets, or holiday cookies. Mentioning that you were thinking about making a centrepiece may inspire them to join you (and let you take a look at what they have hanging around in their gardens). Spending time with friends and family, sharing and giving, isn’t this what the holidays are all about?
Get involved: Folklife Festival 2011- Seeds to Supper
For the past 3 years the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador has supported a local folklife festival in the province. The goal of the festival is to celebrate these otherwise unspoken traditions that may be taken for granted. This year’s theme has an agricultural focus and they hope to coordinate events with a number of the groups in the greater St. John’s area. Interested groups should attend the community planning meeting: Wed. June 15th at 7pm at Sobey’s on Merrymeeting Rd., St. John’s
