Discover the age-old arts of food preservation! Learn to extend the life of fresh, seasonal bounty while enhancing flavors and maintaining nutritional content.  Explore ingredient selection, food safety principles and practical tips to ensure your culinary success. With step-by-step guidance, you will create your own homemade—or in this case, Garden-made—preserved food during class. You will leave with the knowledge, resources and inspiration to continue preserving food in your own kitchen.  From canning to fermented foods, each class will explore a different technique—so register for them all! Registration includes Garden admission for the day—we encourage you to explore the Garden the day of class!
