The Everson Ranch participated in the annual, international World Naked Gardening Day in May.

We had perfect weather to attend to the garden in the open and shed some or all clothes to experience the natural world. Some had never gardened before, some were experienced and some had joined this event several times. All reported that being physically active in the outdoors and in the open was a liberating experience! Thank you volunteers for your enthusiasm and for all your help! It means a lot to us! We are looking forward to celebrating World Naked Gardening Day with you in 2025.
If you don't want to wait so long and would like to experience a good physical workout by mowing our lawns for about 3 hours the next time you come to Valley View, please contact Sabine, garden manager at: .

In June, we offered as our free, educational event at the ranch, the Mushroom Inoculation Workshop. Tyler, the local presenter from the organic certified Alpine Valley Mushroom Farm, demonstrated how to inoculate mycelium to grow mushrooms in one's own backyard. His passion about the importance of nurturing our local fungi was definitely contagious! We are hoping that he will be back in the future to share his broad knowledge with us at the ranch.
