Bring Nature Close to you. I'd love to hear from you out there if you just want to chat or give me feed back on this web site. I am always interested in new ideas or an old time cure. Izzy
Bring Nature Close invites you to get close to nature. Got a problem with your garden? Do you have a project you are stuck on? Do you want more information on a project or plant? ASK ME! I might know. Now new to this page is our workshop calendar and description of classes and workshops.

Workshops and Class Schedules
These classes are small personal classes where you will learn some fun basic skills and have fun working with natural materials.
We will be working out of doors, but shelter is provided if the weather is wet or you wish to stay out of the sun.
In each class, all the materials for each project will be provided. Occasionally you will be asked to bring a common tool, for your own use, to help the workshops run smoother.
Wear warm clothing and layers for temperature adjustment. Wear sturdy, warm, closed toed shoes.

Mary M. from Great Falls, Mt. asks;
It is very late and the ground seems to be frozen. Can I put horse manure on my garden?
Sure. Any snow or rain will seep down through the manure and it will go into the garden eventually. The manure will break down as it is laying on the ground and be perfect by the time spring comes. The only thing to watch out for is putting it on too thick while the ground is frozen. Putting a big heap of manure on your garden will insulate the ground and keep it from thawing early. Rake out the piles of manure so there is no more than 2 inches over the top. If you have extra manure, pile it on the side of your garden. If it is fresh, cover it with a tarp so it can heat up and compost. Add kitchen scraps, light layers of old hay or leaves in alternating layers. You'll have lovely compost come spring.
