Together, they will be offering you the first ever cooking class to incorporate the food harvested fresh from the organic vegetable garden at the Arboretum.

These lovely veggies have been planted and nurtured by the Arboretum permaculturist Catlin Bergman. Gail and Claude gave her their list of requests and she made all the magic happen!

You’ll be sure to enjoy an afternoon of fun and flavor, we hear there is even a BBQ dish on the menu!
