2010 THANKSGIVING ARTISANS DRIVE-ABOUT TOUR, November 26-27, 2010
The Stecoah Artisans are having the 2010 Thanksgiving Artisan Drive About, November 26-27, 2010. A self guided driving tour of 9 artist studios and shops in Graham County, NC. The idea came about many years ago to provide a brochure and artisan tour and map for the Graham County artisans. Started by Karen Mickler of Yellow Branch Pottery and Cheese, and Crim and Jeff Bassett of Bee Global Studio Gallery, people now come from all over to experience the beautiful mountains and meet many creative and talented artists living and working in the area.
On the Drive About one can find Bee Global’s blooming wildflower gardens and unique beeswax lighting to Yellow Branch’s stoneware pottery and fresh cheese, made from their jersey cows. There are hand turned wooden bowls made and sold in a 75 year old tobacco barn that brings a sense of Appalachian curiosity. Visit the Stecoah Valley Art Center, the hub of this small mountain community, and one can find traditional and contemporary art and crafts; weavings, pottery, photography, Cherokee crafts and more.
On Friday, November 26, between 11 an and 2 pm, lunch will be available at the Stecoah Valley Center Kitchen. $12 for adults and $5 for students (K-12) includes your meal and a drink. No reservations necessary.

A Honeybee Garden
Bees are in decline but you can help restore a healthy bee population right in your own garden by doing a couple of things.
First stop using pesticides and herbicides. There are a number of ingredients that are toxic to bees. If you absolutely must use a pesticide, spray in the evening when bee activity has ceased.
Next, plant a bee friendly garden. To name a few from our garden, bee balm, cosmos, lavender, zinnias, Russian sage, sunflower, poppy, mint, marigold, black eyed susan, and asters all attract bees and have ample pollen for the bees to make honey. Include various heights of flowers and only single form flowers. Those with double forms(multiple layers of petals) have less pollen.
Basically bees prefer a naturalistic landscape to live and feed. Maybe by educating others we can reverse the effects of the decline of bees and learn to live together.
