An announcement from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
Winter is the perfect time to enjoy houseplants, succulent planters and herb collection baskets from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. These will make perfect Valentine’s Day gifts. Don’t forget to let us know if you might be interested in purchasing flowering hanging baskets, vegetable plants in gallon pots, or 6 packs of bedding plants this spring. If there is something else special that you would be interested in, please let us know by e-mail to tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com.

“So in this slice of bread there is sunshine, there is cloud, there is the labor of the farmer, the joy of having flour, and the skill of the baker and then, miraculously!, there is the bread.” – Thich Nhat Hanh How to Eat
What do you see when you eat?
“When you put a piece of fruit into your mouth, all you need is a little bit of mindfulness to be aware: “I am putting a piece of apple in my mouth.” Your mind doesn’t need to be somewhere else. If you’re thinking of work while you chew, that’s not eating mindfully. When you pay attention to the apple, that is mindfulness. Then you can look more deeply and in just a very short time you will see the apple seed, the beautiful orchard and the sky, the farmer, the picker, and so on. A lot of work is in that apple!" – Thich Nhat Hanh How to Eat
Double Tree Farms has sweet potatoes and filet mignon back on the market!

Our Market is open!
The market is open! Order before Wednesday at Noon.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has added several nice houseplants to the listings. Available now are needlepoint ivy, cape primrose, wandering jew, and two colors of spider plant, all in 10" hanging baskets. We also have several very nice succulent planters and herb collection baskets for your table or windowsill. Panda plants and aloe vera plants would also be good additions to your winter indoor garden. All these need to stay inside until our frost-free date near the end of April, then will be happy to spend the summer on porch or patio.
We are also making decisions about spring offerings of flowering hanging baskets, vegetable plants in gallon pots, and 6 packs of bedding plants. If there is something special you would be interested in, please let us know by e-mail to tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com.

New Vendor!
Good Morning
Can you believe it was 63 degrees yesterday!? I hope you’re all enjoying the weather and getting outside.
The market is open, and we have a new vendor!
MaeNaturals is an all natural skin care product line created in an effort to remove chemicals from my family’s lifestyle. We are very particular as to what goes in our bodies in the form of foods, it only makes sense to have the same principal apply to the outside. Finding it difficult to obtain genuine all natural products for our bodies, I have slowly began crafting our own. I spend a lot of time researching and formulating the perfect combination of natural ingredients to cleanse, nourish, and moisturize our skin using only the best ingredients available. I look forward to being part of this market and sharing my products with you! – Shanna
The market is open until tomorrow at noon. Get started here: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market
See you Thursday
