Learn How To Begin Using Your Human Currency!

We are excited to now be offering two monthly Timebanking 101 Classes.  

Check out the dates in the flyer below and plan to join us one Wednesday evening or Saturday morning.  

These classes give you a quick introduction to timebanking and hands-on experience with Time and Talents, 
the free software we use to track our exchanges through hOurworld.  Timebanking is a way to meet others, 
get help in the home, learn a new skill or trade and participate in local economy, all the while honoring your
own talents and using your human currency.  

This is a great refresher for members who have joined in the last year and half, too!

Build-A-Bed Skillshare This Saturday! 5/30

Join us this Saturday as we continue our Farm and Garden Skillshares!

Come and learn a new skill + find out how you can trade time for food 
with Ann at The Veggie Patch!


Build a Raised Wicking Bed Skillshare
@ The Veggie Patch
1515 Benton (at N. Florissant) St. Louis MO 63106

Saturday, May 30 4:30 - 6:30 pm













Cowry Collective member Emanuel Taranu will lead a class 
on how to build a raised wicking bed! 

Raised wicking beds are perfect for gardeners who can't be 
on-hand to water every day.  Using capillary action, water 
is pulled from a reservoir underneath the soil up to the roots 
of the plants.  Beds can go weeks without watering.

Wicking beds can be built many different ways - we will build 
ours with lumber, pond liner, and good old St Louis brick shards

FREE and Family Friendly!
