Culinary Delights for Kids: Spring Blooms

Celebrate early spring by learning about three common spring blooms—violet, dandelion, and rose—through song and puppet play. Using the practices of the honorable harvest, participants will make flower crowns, flower adorned baked goods, and flower infused syrups.
