Address: Pilgrim Baptist Church, 3235 E 91st Street,

Children, teenagers and adults are welcome in to participate in age-appropriate activities involving growing and preparing food. A hands-on gardening workshop will teach backyard (or small-size) gardening techniques to all ages. Afterward, cooking demonstrations will highlight using garden fruits and vegetables to prepare healthy meals and dishes. Participants will play a role in preparing the foods, followed by taste testing.  The audience, both young and old, will leave with seeds or seedlings and healthy recipes.
