It's apple season! Check out some of the fun activities slated for our Apple Festival:

• free apple and cider tastings
• apples, cider and fritters available for purchase
• carving pumpkins on sale!
• Save on fall flowers, trees and shrubs, perennials and more!

Check back often for updates!

While available throughout the year apples certainly are at their best in autumn. They are very versatile and can be used in desserts, baked goods and even in main dishes. In class you’ll learn about many of the varieties on the market and about many ways to use them. There will also be a section on freezing for later use. Plenty to sample in class (mouthwatering apple cake and delicious apple slaw, for example) and recipes for home. $20/participant
