Bring Me Some Apples & I’ll Make You a Pie: a Longwood Gardens Community Read Program

May 16 @ 11:30 am 12:30 pm

As a Longwood Gardens Community Read partner, we invite you to join us for a program based on the children’s book by Robbin Gourley. We’ll read the story about Edna Lewis and her focus on farm-to-table all year round. Explore how the seasons are unique, their effect on the growth of local crop, and why we don’t just get flowers after May showers, but all year long! Weather permitting, we’ll take a walk outside for a seasonal exploration.  

Free for DelMNS members, included with admission for non-members.
