April 1st, at the Dwight Community Centre kitchen, come out for some chuckles and relax. Yes, it's April's Fools, but this is no joke... Rebecca, from BarkNursery, and friends will be taking household items from the cupboard and fridge and semaring them all over our faces. REALLY! Yes, they will! This exploration of how to blend your own Spa and Facial treatments combines with an evening of enjoyment for those who wish to be self-sufficient while caring for their bodies and souls in a chemical free way.
The workshop runs from 7 to 9 p.m., and the cost is $25 per person ($15 if you are a member of the Friends of Bark Nursery)
Please register in advance!
It goes way beyond cucumber slices for tired eyes... or lemon juice for tired hair!
Rebecca, along with husband Peter, operate Bark Gardens and Nursery, on Brown's Brae Rd. In 2008 they received a Muskoka Heritage award for the way they are developing their property. Since 2002, Rebecca Krawczyk and Peter Buwalda have acquired 168 acre of creeks, forests, and wetlands in Lake of Bays Township near Baysville. Small areas of the forest have been opened up to produce the dappled shade necessary for propagating the native woodland plants that are the focus of their nursery business; otherwise, the forests on the property remain intact. A network of trails connect different parts of their property and school groups now visit for outdoor education. Their plan is to open a demonstration garden in order to showcase and distribute native species. Their primary interest is in native species, heirlooms and plant diversity.
Rebecca is a commercial organic gardener and environmental horticulture consultant. Peter documents native plants in detailed works of art and puts Rebecca's designs into action. Together they have helped implement many shoreline restorations such as Norway Point Park, South Portage Dock and the Lake of Bays Sailing Club. Many extra volunteer hours go into these community restorations. They hope to be successful, step lightly and educate.
And along the way, the are offering a series of Interpretive Workshops. This is the first one for 2010 being offered in the Lake of Bays.
