Ostara is the Vernal Equinox, when night and day are of equal length and in perfect equilibrium. The year is now waxing and at this moment light defeats the dark. The natural world is coming alive, the Sun is gaining in strength and the days are becoming longer and warmer. The energy is expansive and exuberant. It is the first day of Spring!

This is a good time of year to start your seedlings. Join our resident plant expert, Allison, for a few hours of getting your hands dirty. She will provide planters -- cute ceramic that you can decorate; antique tea cups, if that's more your style -- or bring your own planter and receive a discount on the class.

Cost of class is $25; $20 if you bring your own planter. Allison will provide soil, planters and tea cups, as well as a selection of Spring flowers for you to plant. Please RSVP to hekatenyc@gmail.com to reserve your spot!
