March 7:We had our Gathering of Gardeners to talk about Garden Topics on Sunday. Melanie laughs and calls it the Gathering of "Seedy People". Yes, as Gardeners, we work with Seeds.
It was wonderful. Altogether, there were 12 of us. They entered and were welcomed by Hugs and Introductions. The Dialogue started at the Door (or before) even while Folks were taking off their Boots and that Talking just kept right on going.
We sat in a cozy circle in front of the Wood Stove and on the Buffalo Rug in the Living Room. Each shared a Gardening Question or a Gardening Teaching. After each Person shared, we took a few minutes for dialogue, experience and insights. We are each Learners and Teachers. Then we just kept moving around the Circle. At the close of our sharing, we headed into the Dining Room for some Snacks and more conversation.
Four hours later, Folks were heading back down the slushy Drive and Lane for Home and Chores. I think many of us kept "buzzing" about the topics and ideas emerging. Talk has it that we may be gathering about once a month as the Gardening Season picks up speed. It's a great time to learn and grow.
