You’ve planted your Spring garden and now it’s time to learn how to harvest and cook your bounty! We'll discuss how to properly harvest your Spring crops for a healthy and productive season. The workshop will include an in-garden tour of what’s in season, information for determining crop maturity, and demonstration of tools and how to harvest common Spring crops. We’ll end the class with a cooking demonstration using what we harvested! Guests will be invited to try the recipe and engage with the cooking demonstration along the way.
