Experiences

I host a number of experiences that you are welcome to join in or even have me bring to you. Except the Butterflies. I can't make them follow me there. I do a food cooking class for stuffed grape leaves, a session on learning to podcast, mini seminar of work/life balance, and of course, how to raise Monarch and Swallowtail Butterflies in the Spring and Summer.
