Mindful Mondays: Fragrance, Defined

Mindful Mondays are a free monthly space to learn something practical, reflect a little, and stay connected. We meet on the first Monday of every month, and each session has a different theme.


“Fragrance” is everywhere—laundry, cleaning, personal care, candles—and it’s often the hardest thing to decode. In this free educational call, we’ll cover what fragrance is, how it appears on labels, and where it tends to live in the home. You’ll leave with a simple room-by-room awareness map.

Includes: teaching, Q&A, and takeaway PDF.

Mindful Vision: A Community Vision Board Gathering

January often asks us to rush into change. This gathering offers a quieter, more thoughtful approach to visioning; one that allows space for reflection and intention.

Mindful Vision is a relaxed, community-centered evening focused on creating a visual representation of what you’d like to move toward this year. Through collage and quiet conversation, we’ll explore clarity and direction without pressure, productivity culture, or perfection.

This is not a goal-setting workshop. It’s an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and thoughtfully consider what matters most to you right now.

What to expect:

  • A welcoming, low-pressure creative environment

  • Time for reflection and visual intention-setting

  • Light guidance to help anchor your vision

  • Space for community connection and conversation

What to bring:

  • Magazines of your choice

  • Any personal items you’d like to include

We’ll provide:

  • Tea

  • Poster board or similar base

  • Scissors and glue

  • Additional collage materials

  • Table space and a calm, supportive atmosphere

This gathering is open to anyone looking for a more mindful way to approach the year ahead.

When: Wednesday, February 18
Location: Mindful Mercantile
Time: 5:30pm-7:30pm
Cost: $20

Garden Foundations: A Hands-On Immersion

Garden Foundations: A Hands-On Immersion

Hosted by Root Gardening, this full-day learning experience designed to give home gardeners a clear, confident understanding of how to grow successfully from the ground up.

This five-hour immersion blends foundational garden education with hands-on practice in a small, supportive group setting. Drawing from Root Gardening’s consult-based approach, we’ll cover soil health, seasonal timing, seed starting, transplanting, and simple garden planning — the essential building blocks that allow a garden to thrive year after year.

Participants will learn through demonstration, guided practice, and conversation, with time built in for questions and individualized support. A shared lunch break at noon provides space to rest, connect, and reflect before continuing the afternoon session.

Each attendee will go home with a seedling tray they’ve planted themselves, along with a thoughtfully curated Garden Foundations binder/workbook. The binder includes class materials, note-taking space, garden sketching and planning graph paper, and seed organization sleeves to support learning well beyond the day of the immersion.

This experience is ideal for beginners, new homeowners, and anyone ready to slow down, learn the basics properly, and build a garden rooted in understanding rather than trial and error.

The Root Gardening Approach

Using Root Gardening’s Arch of Seasons framework, participants will learn how plant families and climate preferences guide when and how crops are grown, ultimately removing the guesswork from seasonal planting.


Investment: $225
Early Registration: $195

A limited number of early registration spots are available for those who commit in advance. Use code 195 to apply the early bird pricing at time of check out. If code error appears, early registration has closed and standard registration will apply.

Includes: teaching, guided prompts, Q&A, and a one-system planning PDF.
