For families with children ages 5 – 11. Microgreens are delicate, young plants that are harvested and eaten while they are tiny and tasty. Often used by chefs in the finest restaurants, you will learn the tricks to growing and eating these healthy little bursts of flavor at home. You will sample some of these tiny delights and make a ‘microgreen monster’ to plant up and take home. Two Sessions 10:30 – noon or 1:30 – 3 p.m. Member Family $15, Non-Member Family $25 (includes admission to the Garden). Fee covers up to 2 adults and 3 children.
