Early Spring visit to 21 Acres in Woodinville

Our class of intrepid nature lovers walked over to 

21 Acres to explore the sounds, sights and smells of early

This oasis of sustainable farming is a community treasure.  Check out their 

summer cooking / farming camps for kids!

See how we've made our yard a friendly place for the new mason bees.
