Kitchen gardening is a great way for kids to learn about nature, horticulture and nutrition while enjoying time outdoors. Let the cheerful Pied Piper of the Phantom gardens, Abbey Hart lead young ones on a season-spanning adventure of growing their own food. Participants will begin in April, planting lettuces and a pole bean tepee. Return in late May to enjoy a salad party and put in the next round of crops – tomatoes, zukes and cukes, cheerful sunflowers and more. The workshop will wrap up in August with more harvesting and sampling. Along the way, they’ll take home seedlings for their own yards, and learn important lessons about organic methods, composting, even participate in a ladybug release! Sign up the youngsters in your life and jump start a lifetime of gardening. 3 Saturdays - sign up for one or all!
