Pollinator Plant Workshop @Patch
Learn what to plant. Learn why it matters. Then get growing. Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring the Florida native plants that help bees, butterflies, and other pollinators thrive.
Created in collaboration with the UF/IFAS Extension Master Gardener Program, this two-hour experience will give you practical ideas for building a more pollinator-friendly garden while discovering how thoughtful planting can support a healthier local ecosystem. No gardening experience is necessary.
Step away from the holiday rush and join us in the forest to pause, gather, and practice gratitude together. We’ll break bread, get grounded in nature, and learn a simple Gratitude Practice designed to help us notice and “take in the good.” Come with family. Come with friends. Come ready to Declare It Good.
When the sun goes down, Patch becomes something entirely different. We’ll wander beneath the Full Moon, slow down to the speed of trees, awaken our senses, and experience a guided Forest Bath deep within our Old Growth Forest. Put away the phone. Breathe. Walk with us in the woods at dark.
Hagamos una pausa. Reunámonos en el bosque para compartir, respirar y practicar juntos el poder de la gratitud. En este picnic especial aprenderemos una sencilla Práctica de Gratitud, compartiremos en comunidad y abriremos nuestros sentidos a todo lo bueno que todavía está presente. Ven con tu familia. Celebremos. Agradezcamos. Declaremos que es bueno.
Before making resolutions for a new year, make space for what comes next. Spend the day practicing the art of clearing, releasing, and letting go while exploring the Wind of the West and its invitation to honor endings before beginning again.

Slip out of the city and into the stillness of the forest beneath December's Cold Moon. Join us for a special Twilight @ Patch experience where moonlight, mindfulness, and the quiet of our old-growth forest invite you to slow down and reconnect.
Guided by Suzanne Jewell, you'll experience grounding meditation, a mindful walk through the forest, sensory exploration, and candlelight meditation. Put away the phone, breathe deeply, and let the forest create space for presence, gratitude, and renewal.
Before you welcome the new year, make space by releasing what you no longer need to carry. Gather around the Patch fire pit for an evening of reflection, ritual, nature, and community designed to help you close the year with intention.
Pause, remember, write, walk, drum, meditate, and take part in the ancient practice of using fire as a symbol of transformation. The evening will also include Kirtan chanting beneath the stars as we honor the season, let go of the old, and create room for new growth.
