Hey All! Please spread this invitation widely. 

If you've got an idea for a micro-workshop or a skill to share, let us know.

Kindly RSVP if you are planning on attending to hoopn...@gmail.com so we can plan for food.

Come on out to the Harvest Moon Society Annual Spring Fling and Work Bee! It's going to be a fun weekend with many workshops and tasks. Want to help make a pond? We can arrange that! Don't know how to build a swale or a chicken moat?! Come and learn!

There may also be the chance to contribute to a mural in the greenhouse at the Harvest Moon Learning Centre.
