The Murer House Learning Center

More amazing Spring flowers to share. Let's hope we're open and everything is in full bloom for the March 6th tour and bulb day. Walking the grounds and seeing all the amazing colors and newly painted Murer House will be a treat!

Asparagi! With special thanks to Green Acres Nursery and Supply and the Murer House garden volunteers, asparagus has now been returned to Joe's garden! The spring harvest will be fun for years to come.

Spring is arriving at Joe's house! Special thanks to Rhonda and the garden volunteers for keeping the beauty alive and thriving!

beautiful winter photos this morning from our Italian sister city. Joe always grew these snowdrops in his yard. We will check to see if they are coming up now!

Two spots have opened up for the February 6th Biscotti di Mandorle e Cioccolato (Almond Biscotti). The class is from 10 am - 12 pm; to enroll: https://themurerhouse.square.site/ Having a very subtle flavor, these Italian cookies are ideal for breakfast, snack, and dessert. These classical Italian dunking cookies make an ideal companion to morning coffee, pick-me-up espresso or cappuccino, and evening gelato. Easy to make, students will each bake and slice one loaf and bake their biscotti (slices) to take home. Chocolate sauce will be available for dipping or drizzling over the biscotti.

The flowers are sure enjoying this long awaited rain!

Winter Italian language classes are here! Whether you're a beginner, advanced or somewhere in between we have the class for you!
