In this new after school workshop with Jane Mossa of The Pink Rhubarb children will learn farm-to-table methods and enjoy an edible education through different hands-on activities each week.
The Pink Rhubarb believes in cultivating, growing and maintaining skills in cooking, gardening and craft. This after school program teaches future generations how to enjoy using their hands in the kitchen, garden or at the table. The Pink Rhubarb provides opportunities for independence and creative learning while teaching children essential life skills that are enjoyable to explore together.
