Explore the Children’s Kitchen Garden when the beds are bursting with fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers to be eaten! We will do a little garden maintenance, explore how we compost, and harvest lots of fresh food that will be donated. You may also get some veggies to snack on and take home! Drop your young learner off or stay and join in on the fun in the Children’s Kitchen Garden just north of the parking lot near Sugar Ave towards Garver Feed Mill. Ages 8-12 with or without an adult.
$15 per Child / $12 per Child (Olbrich Member)
“Move like a great river; be still like a mountain” instructs the age-old description of the meditative exercise and movement art of T’ai Chi Ch’uan. This class offers standing movements and seated practices rooted within the Chinese tradition of Tai Chi and Chi Kung for the enrichment of body, mind and spirit. All physical abilities welcome, including those in need of chair-based practice.
This informal tour of what’s happening in the Herb Garden is sure to delight both experienced and aspiring herbies! Horticulturist Erin Presley recaps the summer and the techniques that contribute to the garden’s bountiful, beautiful displays. This fall class is a sequel to the early summer session in June and will touch on how we adapted to the season’s weather, fall harvest and overwintering tips, and highlights of the Hmong Garden.
Nourish your body and come alive with spring! Your instructor will kindly guide you through gentle, opening postures using the breath and a focused mind.
