  • Winter Park Community Garden Workday at DePugh: Volunteers Needed
  • The Seed – Community Mural and Garden
    • ]]>     Today I visited the Winter Park Community Garden behind First Pres Winter Park.  I shot some video and took some still of this incredible community garden.  I’ll be posting more about the visit and the awesome young lady who is the garden curator soon.

    But wanted to share this video with you before the weekend was over.  I caught wind of this thank Emily Ruff at the Homegrown Co-op.  She posted about Transition Orlando and their upcoming gathering.  While there I learned about the 350 Garden Challenge and ended up spending some time in my garden pruning, watering, transplanting and picking a spot to plant my kiwi’s tomorrow.  I hope you find this video as inspiring as I did.

    • ]]>     JubalsKinTrioAs many of you know my favorite place to study is at the Winter Park Library.  Well during my studying for finals I saw a flyer for a free Christmas concert put on by Jubal’s Kin.  Surprise surprise surprise.  These were the three young musicians that Julie Norris had on Front Porch Radio either the week before or after I was on.

    Being a lover of traditional Bluegrass, roots and gospel I put these three on my radar the second I heard them on the radio.  They have a great sound and their take on the genre is fresh and inspiring.  So….we made it a point as a family to drop into the Library today to catch their show.  We had a front row seat and our daughter was clapping away enraptured by the sound of live acoustic music.

    I’ve cut together a little video that I shot with the Flip to give you guys an idea about the kind of music Jubal’s Kin plays.  The trio was joined today by three other musicians, but their core group is made up of siblings Roger, Gailanne and Jeffrey Amundsen ages 21,15 and 11 respectively.

    They’ve got a fair few awards under their belt already and with an engaging stage presence, some hot licks and a wonderful synergy, I expect great things from these young musicians.  It is always a pleasure to discover new music, but when it is in your own backyard is that much sweeter.
