Family Gardening: Seed to Table
August 12, 2023 @ 10:30am - 1:00pm
Spanning across the Greenhouse Education Center’s learning garden, greenhouse, and kitchen, families are invited to learn the art of gardening, herbalism, and kitchen-skills to support healthy and happy bodies, minds, and hearts. Each week families will be welcomed into this drop-in program to craft their own home remedies, meals, and garden-inspired artworks and have informal time in the garden to weed, water, and tend to the plants.
Alternate between gardening and cooking classes to learn how to collaboratively grow, harvest, cook, and eat with the plants of the learning garden and greenhouse as you learn ways our garden can tend to our community–people to plant and bee to bird. Storytelling and introduction to the day’s theme will take place every hour at 11 and 12.
