gaRDENING BASICS & WELLNESS WITH AMANDA BURGER

 In this session, we will explore the fundamental elements necessary for successfully cultivating plants, including selecting the right location, preparing soil, implementing companion planting, managing pests, and using natural fertilizers. Gardening provides numerous health benefits, both physical and mental, as it promotes exercise and reduces stress while allowing us to enjoy nature. Through gardening, we can foster mindfulness, connect with our surroundings, and grow delicious, nutritious plants. Join us on this journey to enhance your well-being through the art of gardening! 

Amanda has lovingly cultivated seedlings for us to plant.  We will provide each participant with a flowerpot, soil, and a variety of mixed herb and flower seedlings to create your own planter and start your gardening journey!

Enjoy a beautiful sunset at the Solstice Steps after the event!

Join the lovely ladies of WINHER Tuesday June 10th at 6:30 in the evening for a magical hike through the trails of Squire’s Castle! This beautiful old gatehouse from the 1890s is modeled after German and English baronial castles and is a unique feature of North Chagrin that is a popular destination for people of all ages. Squire’s Castle should be on your “must see” list for North Chagrin Reservation. 

We will meet at the actual castle itself around 6:30pm before embarking on a hike through the trails that sit behind this amazing landmark. 

Hiking offers numerous benefits for both physical and mental well-being, including improved cardiovascular health, stronger muscles and bones, better balance, stress reduction, and increased mood. It's a great way to enjoy the outdoors and connect with nature and each other. 

Physical Benefits: 

* Improved Cardiovascular Health: Hiking strengthens the heart and lungs, reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. 

* Stronger Muscles and Bones:Hiking is a weight-bearing activity that builds muscle mass and bone density, helping to prevent osteoporosis and arthritis. 

* Better Balance and Coordination

Hiking on uneven terrain improves balance and coordination, which can be particularly beneficial for older adults. 

* Weight Management: Hiking can help with weight loss by burning calories and increasing metabolism. 

 * Increased Vitamin D: Spending time outdoors in the sunshine provides the body with vitamin D, which is important for overall health. 

Mental and Emotional Benefits:

* Stress Reduction: Hiking can help reduce stress hormones and improve mental well-being. 

*Improved Mood: Being in nature can have a positive impact on mood, helping to reduce anxiety and depression. 

* Enhanced Creativity: Hiking can provide a chance to clear the mind and improve creativity and problem-solving skills.

* Better Sleep Quality: Hiking can improve sleep quality by reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

* Social Benefits: Hiking can be a fun way to spend time with friends and family and build stronger relationships. 

* Appreciation for Nature: Hiking provides a chance to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world.

Please clean out your closets and bring your gently used clothing, shoes and accessories to this phenomenal resale/thrift store. Please have all items freshly washed and folded and in a laundry basket. The friendly staff will look through your items and offer to purchase anything that they like right there for cash on the spot. You can then use that money to update your wardrobe with affordable fashion that celebrates every woman. It's not just about scoring great deals on your favorite brands (although that's a bonus).

https://www.anotherchanceofohio.org/ Clothes Mentor is also doing a feminine product drive of their own if you would like to bring anything to contribute to that. 

If all of this AMAZINGNESS wasn’t enough, using a resale clothing store offers significant environmental benefits by extending the lifespan of garments, reducing textile waste, and minimizing the demand for new production. This helps conserve resources, decrease pollution, and lessen the strain on the environment associated with fast fashion. WINHER will also be having a mini raffle at the event with prizes generously being donated by our gracious hosts Clothes Mentor.

All of the proceeds from this raffle will be benefiting our very own WINHER organization. WINHER will be putting this money towards more amazing programs to promote and support women! Light refreshments are also being provided by Clothes Mentor! Thank you, and  Namaste!
