"You have to cultivate your garden" - Voltaire
I had such a wonderful time at my first
gardening class this past Saturday. What a wonderful group of people, all with different stories and from different "gardening backgrounds". Our hosts, Craig and Sarah Cyr of the
Wine Cellar and Bistro were absolutely gracious. We also have a wonderful teacher, woman named Liberty, from the
Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture (CCUA). After spending a few hours tilling, and hoe'ing, and weeding, we shared a gorgeous lunch, prepared by Craig. The weather was absolutely perfect, and it was such a beautiful day to be outside, get our hands dirty, and meet new friends. I'm already looking forward to next month's class. In the meantime, I promise to have a new recipe for you this week. It's been a while!

I've been inspired to start cultivating my green thumb as well as my palate for wine pairings! Keep sharing your adventures and lovely photos in and outside of the kitchen Julia!
