There's been chatter about another amazing opportunity that we've been presented with, and here it is!
It is my honor and pleasure to welcome Jennifer to our community! Jennifer recently received her Permaculture Design Certification and is a mentor volunteer with the Sustainable Food Center of Austin. She has a passion for gardening and sharing her skills with children. She will be teaching a Junior Master Gardener class for the EcoSchool this fall, and before she moved back to Austin this summer, established a permaculture garden (via business donations) with the special needs children she taught at a local public school in Tuscon.
Jennifer will be helping design our Mandala garden (how amazing is that???) and will be coming to Terra Luz to work with our children! Feel free to visit her blog and hop on over to her flickr, to see more of her endeavors.
Please help me welcome her.

Volunteer Opportunity -- We are going to have fun with this, get a group of parents together, collaborate on a design, and make this a community project.
Any takers for this Sunday morning? :)
*We will, more than likely, have another opportunity for garden volunteering next weekend too. Will keep you posted.

WOW WOW WOW is a HUGE understatement!
How exciting on so many levels!
Welcome Jennifer! I can't wait to meet and work with you...I'm sure the kids will, too ;)
YES! I can get my hands in the TL dirt this Sunday morning.
So glad the word is out! Jennifer is amazing with children and creates such beautiful work...can't wait to see what this garden will look like! Andrea, I am attending a Blessingway Sunday AM, and Chris is babysitting 2 kiddos. So sorry we can't come. We are free in the afternoon, though.
I have to be gone by 11am, but am also free in the afternoon :)
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful opportunity for the tots! Welcome, Jennifer!
I have family in town on Sunday but will get in touch when our plans are more settled.
Would LOVE to be there but can't do this Sunday morning. Maybe next weekend? This is soooo exciting! I can't wait to meet Jennifer.
The O'Connor's are IN for Sunday morning. What time? And, do you prefer no kiddos?
It looks like Jennifer and I are going to meet up here at 1:00, so if that is too late for you, totally understand.
But, if you can swing is (sans kiddies) we would LOVE to have you!!
..."swing IT..."
:)
Children are welcome. Just realized that childcare could be difficult for some families, so feel free to bring the kiddies! They should enjoy helping in the garden :)
I can probably swing by sans kids around 2pm.
Chris and/or I will be there around 2:00--if we both come, we'll have Jalie with us, but I'm hoping she'll nap, which means being home w/me. Not sure if we'll bring the tree stump stools and wood slices, as they could use some sanding, and I'm not sure if Chris will have time to do that...
Hope I can still make...Daryl may have to work :(
*Update* 9/20
Jennifer and I are going to meet one-on-one for the initial meeting to pow-wow and think the design and the garden through.
We should have it all hammered out so that by this coming weekend, we'll be ready for volunteers to come out. And hopefully, it will give more families an opportunity to make it out.
Will keep you posted...
Muchas Gracias!
just seeing this now... WOW! This is such a neat opportunity for the kids. Welcome Jennifer. Cannot wait to meet you. We will be out of town next weekend,but plan on helping the next go round. Thank you TL for pushing the bar even further...
:)
