Healthy Gardening Class: Tomato Tasting

Classes are offered throughout the summer to allow participants to experience different vegetables as they ripen across the season.

Classes are fun and FREE! We’ll do some light exercise, put our hands in the soil and work with some delicious garden produce. Children are welcome with adult companion.

All classes begin with a 30-minute session covering growing methods on the variety of the vegetable for the night. Class moves to harvest time in the garden and preparation of a beverage, snack or dish.
