SUMMARY:Floral Design Basics: Bring the Outside In
DESCRIPTION:Floral Design Basics: Bring the Outside In! \n  \nSaturday\, August 6\, 10 am – 12:15 pm \n$25 MSHS members\, $30 Non-members \nLocation: Gibbs Farm\, 2097 Larpenteur Ave W\, St. Paul MN 55113 (in the red barn) \nInstructors: MSHS Judging and Exhibiting Committee \nRegistration link: https://mshs.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/mshs/event.jsp?event=478& \nThe MSHS Judging & Exhibiting Committee will present floral design basics in this fun drop-in style workshop. This workshop will offer a brief history of floral design and basic concepts of harmony\, rhythm\, balance\, and proportions. We’ll show that you don’t need to know all of the rules and principles of design to produce striking floral arrangements\, nor do we need to spend a fortune on expensive cut flowers. Instead\, we will show you how to use common plants growing in our yards and neighborhoods\, talk about seasonal availability\, and briefly discuss planning a cutting garden with plants that will bloom all season long. \n  \nRegistration link: https://mshs.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/mshs/event.jsp?event=478&

SUMMARY:Evenings at Gibbs: July Farmhouse Tour
DESCRIPTION:Our Evening Farmhouse tour is back with a twist!\nRamsey County Historical Society and Gibbs Farm staff are incredibly excited to welcome Members and guests back for in-person programming. The Evenings at Gibbs event series is a chance for adults to enjoy history and snacks in the beautiful and educational 8-acre Gibbs Farm setting. \nJane and Heman Gibbs purchased 160 acres of land in the new Minnesota Territory in 1849\, shortly after their marriage. For the first five years they lived in a sod house before eventually building a log cabin in 1853. As they expanded their family and their farm business they added and improved on this log cabin\, adding a parlor\, bedrooms and a summer kitchen. The Gibbs Family lived on this land for over 100 years. The farmhouse was purchased by the newly created Ramsey County Historical Society in 1949 and has been an educational space ever since. \nSite manager Sammy Nelson will lead guests through the rooms of the Farmhouse\, connecting the Gibbs Family story to the larger historical context of Minnesota’s early statehood. This tour is great for first time visitors and longtime supporters of Gibbs Farm\, as Sammy will highlight some of her favorite rediscovered facts and anecdotes from her winter research project. \nCheck-in starts at 5:30\, grab a drink\, visit the farm animals and check out the gardens before the tour begins at 6:00. \nTickets $25 ($18 RCHS Members) \nPre-registration required\, purchase tickets online or by calling the Gibbs Farm Office 651-646-8629. \nTicket price includes: a glass of wine\, beer\, or choice of themed NA beverage and light appetizers. Food will be enjoyed before the tour enters the farmhouse.

James Beard Award–winning author Beth Dooley provides the context of food’s origins\, along with delicious recipes\, nutrition information\, and tips for smart sourcing. More than a farm-to-table cookbook\, this book expands the definition of “local food” to embrace regenerative agriculture\, the method of growing small and large crops with ecological services. Beth will share highlights of the book\, recipes and more. \nLight dinner will be supplied by Lakewinds Coop – vegetarian\, vegan\, and gluten-free choices will be available. \nReservations and tickets required\, see the Reservation Form here to order tickets – note that ticket prices include refreshments and your choice to buy a copy of The Perennial Kitchen at a special event discount!

Here James Beard Award–winning author Beth Dooley provides the context of food’s origins\, along with delicious recipes\, nutrition information\, and tips for smart sourcing. \nMore than a farm-to-table cookbook\, The Perennial Kitchen expands the definition of “local food” to embrace regenerative agriculture\, the method of growing small and large crops with ecological services. These farming methods\, grounded in a land ethic\, remediate the environmental damage caused by the monocropping of corn and soybeans. In this thoughtful collection the home cook will find both recipes and insights into artisan grains\, nuts\, fruits\, and vegetables that are delicious and healthy—and also help retain topsoil\, sequester carbon\, and return nutrients to the soil. Here are crops that enhance our soil\, nurture pollinators and song birds\, rebuild rural economies\, protect our water\, and grow plentifully without toxic chemicals. These ingredients are as good for the planet as they are on our plates. \nDooley explains how to stock the pantry with artisan grains\, heritage dry beans\, fresh flour\, healthy oils\, and natural sweeteners. She offers pointers on working with grass-fed beef and pastured pork and describes how to turn leftovers into tempting soups and stews. She makes the most of each season’s bounty\, from fresh garlic scape pesto to roasted root vegetable hummus. Here we learn how best to use nature’s “fast foods\,” the quick-cooking egg and ever-reliable chicken; how to work with alternative flours\, as in gingerbread with rye or focaccia with Kernza®; and how to make plant-forward\, nutritious vegan and vegetarian fare. Among other sweet pleasures\, Dooley shares the closely held secret recipe from the University of Minnesota’s student association for the best apple pie. Woven throughout the recipes is the most recent research on nutrition\, along with a guide to sources and information that cuts through the noise and confusion of today’s food labels and trends. \nBeth Dooley looks back into ingredients’ healthy beginnings and forward to the healthy future they promise. At the center of it all is the cook\, linking into the regenerative and resilient food chain with every carefully sourced\, thoughtfully prepared\, and delectable dish. \nBeth Dooley is author or coauthor of several cookbooks\, including Savoring the Seasons of the Northern Heartland\, The Northern Heartland Kitchen\, Minnesota’s Bounty\, The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook\, Savory Sweet: Simple Preserves from a Northern Kitchen\, Sweet Nature: A Cook’s Guide to Using Honey and Maple Syrup\, and The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen (Best American Cookbook\, James Beard Award\, 2018)\, all from Minnesota. In Winter’s Kitchen is her memoir about finding her place in the Midwestern food scene. She lives in Minneapolis. \nMette Nielsen’s photographs have illustrated numerous books\, newspapers\, and magazines. A talented master gardener\, she created the edible garden for the Birchwood Cafe in Minneapolis\, collaborated on The Birchwood Cafe Cookbook and Minnesota’s Bounty\, and was a coauthor of Savory Sweet and Sweet Nature. \n\n  \n
