After a long summer and fall season, we need to take the time to reset and rejuvenate. Time to focus on the wellness of our minds and bodies and take a breath. Women in Horticulture is happy to partner with Jenkins Arboretum and generous volunteers to offer a daylong retreat in a beautiful setting. A full day of relaxation will be available with plenty of time for connecting with other women in horticulture or to enjoy the grounds!
What to Bring:
A dish or snack for our potluck lunch (kitchen and refrigeration are available).
A yoga mat or towel to use for Yoga and Splendor in the Dance, if you would like to participate.
If you would like to do indigo dying, please bring an article you would like to dye (white t-shirt, light colored table cloth, etc - fabric must be 100% cotton, linen, rayon, or hemp).
