It was a Vegan Gardening 101 class couched within a Container + Companion gardening class. So, pretty much everything from the vegan ins- and-outs of gardening (compost/compost tea, store bought + homemade fertilizers, sourcing plants + materials), to the basics of container planting, and the benefits and how-to's of companion planting. And then we had a vegan BBQ feast! :D

Glad I’m not the only one who has weeks like this. But honestly, this love list could lift anyone’s spirits. Hope this week is treating you a little easier! :D

That article is beautifully written and it rings so true to me. I have to tell you what an inspiration you’ve been to my family. I’ve been vegetarian for almost 15 years and if I’m going to be honest with myself I knew in my heart I was turning a blind eye to the dairy and egg industry. Why? It was too hard to avoid all animal products-too expensive-too big of a pain in the ass to go out to eat…….I’m not entirely sure why I guess. One thing that was definitely holding me back was my kids. I have a 13 year old, a 2 year old and a 3 month old who is exclusively breast fed. Finding your blog has been a real blessing to me and seeing how happy and healthy Waits is really gave me the confidence to take the plunge and start raising our family vegan. Its been almost 3 months and my husband and I feel like a million bucks. (My EBF baby is off the growth charts btw the dr. was cracking up and said Im making vegan half and half HA!) Not only do I feel better physically but I can’t even put it in words how much peace living this compassionate lifestyle has brought me. Thank you for being a terrific resource and for doing what you do to inspire others.

I remember reading that article while pregnant with my now 3 month old daughter, one of my fav articles. You were actually the kick up the butt I needed to go vegan in 2011, I started reading your blog and within weeks became vegan and haven’t looked back. Your book was also the first thing I bought when I found out I was pregnant last year. Tomorrow is my first mother’s day and I’m super excited <3 have a great weekend Sayward.

My Love List:

~Exquisite smelling lilacs when I enter my yard.
~My amazing week in Portland. The coffee exceeded my expectations. I xox Heart. The Lovecraft Festival was everything and more than I had hoped. Bought shoes from Pie. Ate so much amazing food. Caught Aliens at the Coho theatre. A chamber concert and a solo Pianist. Defiantly an annual trip from BC.

~I picked up your Vegan Pregnancy Survival Guide at Herbivore last week. Though I plan to not have children I wanted it to expand my vegan library and knowledge, especially as all my friends are having babies! I love your voice already and it’s really nice to have it in a book format.
~Farmer’s Market tomorrow with sunshine and friends.
~Feeling loved and grounded and filled with gratitude.

Happy Mother’s day!

The article is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing! Good luck with the computer–I’m sending good vibes. I am loving that I finished up my finals yesterday and get to spend the summer home with my girlies. Also loving the yoga intensive study I started and the sunshine that has finally found us in Minnesota!
