Class Layout: During our time, the kids will visit the green house to check on their plants and will receive a fresh herb from the gardening manager. Then we will have a scavenger hunt through the grocery store for the remainder of our ingredients and will finish in the kitchen area to  prepare some dishes for the kids to eat for lunch. 

Menu: Each week we will use ingredients that pair with out fresh herbs provided by the green house. The kids will make at least 2 dishes from these ingredients that they can eat in class or bring home to share. Every class the kids get to take the recipes home to repeat with your families. Some herbs that we will learn about are:
