The Madrona School is sponsoring two community events celebrating the joys and rewards of gardening, foraging, and the traditional craft of fermenting.
‘Garden Rewards’ and ‘Spring Tonics’ will be the tantalizing topics on Friday, May 15, 7-9 p.m. EagleSong, a community-centered herbalist, will give a presentation on the joys and rewards of local food gardens, gardeners and bringing children into the garden. She’ll also take a lively look at local wild foods—how to properly bite them, and why you might want to! There is a suggested donation of $5-10 for this event.
‘Ferments to Live By’ is a one-day workshop on Saturday, May 16, 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Learn how you can make delicious, nutritious fermented foods. The workshop promises to be active, messy and fun. Fermentation is an artisan craft that’s been practiced for hundreds of years around the globe. A local lunch featuring ferments from the workshop is included. Registration is $75 per person.
Both events will be held at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church, 105 Winslow Way West. To pre-register for the workshop or for more information about either event, contact Gail Cunningham at 206-780-0807.
