Hot Pot Harvest Stew great family event
DIG, PICK AND PROCESS the vegetables that will go into the stew pot, and learn about organic gardening along the way. It’s an all-you-can-eat harvest brunch, served with whole grain bread and freshly made cider. This is a good family event, because it teaches kids that food doesn’t come out of a plastic wrapper. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required.
WHEN: Noon to 2 p.m. Sunday
WHERE: Seagull Pavilion, Children’s Garden, Coastal Maine Botanical Garden
HOW MUCH: $4 (includes stew, homemade bread and cider; desserts cost extra)
