Family Canning Workshop

You’ve spent the summer toiling in the garden and now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor.  Harvest time is here, but what to do with all the extra fruits and vegetables you’ve gathered?  You’ll be able to enjoy them throughout the winter after you attend the Sawtooth Botanical Garden’s canning workshop.  Join us in the Garden’s kitchen on Friday, October 9, from 4 – 7 pm to learn the basics of food preservation with Kaz Thea.  In addition to managing the Hailey Farmer’s Market, Kaz is an avid gardener with extensive experience in home canning.  She will teach attendees how to make salsa, as well as, pickle vegetables.

The entire family is encouraged to attend because there are fun jobs for even the littlest hands.  Children love the sense of accomplishment from making their own food.  Make canning your new harvest-time family tradition.  Light refreshments will be served.  Cost is $10 for Members and $15 for Non-Members.  Discounts are available to those that supply their own materials.  Pre-registration is required.  Please call 726-9358, or e-mail heather@sbgarden.org for more information.

Through education and fun the Sawtooth Botanical Garden hopes to plant the seed of their larger vision: Celebrating Plants and Inspiring People to live in appreciation and balance with nature. All programs are supervised by SBG staff educators with First Aid and CPR certification.
