The November Lunch and Learn is on Tuesday, November 18, 2025.
Topic: Preparing Your Garden for Winterization.
Do we really put our gardens to bed for the winter? What is happening in our gardens during the colder weather? How do critters and plants survive and thrive? There are many practices to prepare our yards for the colder weather and be able to help our landscapes get a good start to the spring growing cycle.
Diane Spence has been a Master Gardener through the Ohio State Extension Service for many years, helping to educate and spread research-based information to the public. She loves caring for gardens and houseplants. Diane and her husband, Tom, are team leaders of our Grateful Gardeners Sacred Service Team. This team keeps our spacious grounds beautiful year-round!

The December Lunch and Learn is on Tuesday, December 16, 2025.
Topic: Managing Stress with Tai Chi.
Discover the ancient Chinese tradition of Tai Chi with Mary Holtz, our current Tai Chi instructor. She leads our weekly Tai Chi class Wednesday mornings at 11 a.m.
Tai chi can relieve stress by combining mind-body practices, including slow, flowing movements, focused breathing, and meditation to induce relaxation and reduce anxiety. With the hustle & bustle of the holidays, take time for self-care and learn several 5-minute tune-ups to calm and refresh during this busy time of year!
Mary will lead us through a series of mindful movements and stretches based in tai chi. Mary strives to live life to the fullest by staying active, being curious, and discerning when to slow down and center the mind. She combines these elements while working part-time as a fitness instructor, facilitating Bible studies, practicing yoga, gardening, and hiking new trails near and far. Her most recent joy comes from leading qigong and Tai Chi Easy practice groups throughout the Cleveland area.
Please bring your favorite dish to share and join us at noon.
