We welcome anyone who has willingly accepted God as their Saviour, but needs a place of refuge, reflection or spiritual growth. Over the years, by Gods grace, we have been able to help many brothers and sisters in need.Some people come to the Centre just for a few days, to find a away from home, a place of peace where they can spiritually and/or emotionally recharge, to discover what God has intended for them. Others stay for a prolonged period of time to find themselves or to explore the will of God in their lives. Whatever the reason, God provides and gives every open soul exactly what it needs. Thus, more guests go away with profound peace, with strength and courage to face life again - as is evidenced by many letters of thanks we receive.Some of our visitors have had financial means to help us; others were less fortunate. Nevertheless, all are welcomed for we have wholeheartedly resigned our survival to Divine Providence.

Alexwe're working on a fun science project at Wintergreen Studios this summer. In the interest of tallying and identifying all the species of plants on our land, we're constructing a herbarium. A herbarium is essentially a library of plants, a vast collection that catalogs the species composition in our surrounding area. When a plant is picked, it needs to be dried out and then mounted on a rigid piece of cardboard for display.Each entry is a single plant along with particular attributes:the plant itself, identified with its family, genus, and speciesthe precise (GPS) location where the plant was founda short description of the habitat where the plant was foundthe name of the person who collected the plant and the name of the identifierthe plant's cataloging numberthe date on which the plant was pickedthe name of the institution where the plant is storedWhen picking a plant, it is important to have all of its parts.
