Salad Days and Harvest Feast in the Edible Garden
It’s harvest time in the garden! And we have TWO fabulous food events for students happening this month.
Gorgeous lettuces
Not only is this a great chance to introduce some delicious, healthful foods to students, but it also allows them make the connection between what we grow and what we eat.
I could use a few helping hands in the garden during these times. Would you please consider volunteering your time to help make these events a success? Bonus: You get to taste the vegetables your children have grown! If interested, please email me (alice.b@earthlink.net).

Fall Harvest Feast!

11 am – 3:30 pm
Local chef Mark Day joins us in the garden to whip up some wonderful, healthful dishes using the vegetables we’ve grown this fall. Kids can help harvest the vegetables. We can all feel rewarded for the work done in planting and caring for the garden by tasting some extraordinary flavors — together.
