Promise of Peace Community Garden

May 3, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

During the month of May for each Grace Grits & Gardening candle sold, I am donating $1.00 to the Promise of Peace Community Garden in East Dallas.

Promise of Peace helps boost high school completion rates in East Dallas by promoting community involvement and healthy living through cooking classes, yoga and hands-on gardening.

On the first Saturday of every month, Promise of Peace hosts a local market with adult gardening classes and brunch. Tomorrow’s event will include grilled pizzas and fresh lemonade made with herbs from the garden. Check out the garden’s Facebook page and website for more information.

Wine Cork Craft Project

April 18, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner

We drink wine in our house. As a result, we have bowls and bowls of wine corks. Only so many can be used as decorations.

I decided to put a few to work this spring as garden markers. This project is simple and quick.

All you need are corks, wooden skewers and a sharpie marker.

Secure the skewer to the bottom of the cork. The skewer is sharp so it can easily be screwed in. Cut or break the skewer to the size desired. Label the cork with the plant and stake it in the ground.
