Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Fall finally hit my part of Pennsylvania yesterday, so it looks like a good day to hit the woods and find some pods and cones and " stuff " . When my daughter attended a Waldorf nursery school, we started keeping a nature corner that reflects the season. It has sort of evolved over the years, but this is my favorite season (except when we're just starting into spring, summer, or winter). I'll look for all kinds of different looking things, including bark, fallen leaves, shrooms, pods, seeds, and pinecones (tip - leave the insect galls out there). Mixed with some dried petals and leaves from the garden, and some oil mixed with orris root, they make a nice bowl of potpourri. It's harvest time out there in the herb garden - still just a little lavender, and a boatload of sage.
