Sweet fruits, crisp vegetables, and fragrant spices

Workshop | Elementary School Classes (Grades 1–6)

Süßes Obst, knackiges Gemüse und duftende Gewürze

Sweet strawberries, juicy tomatoes, aromatic rosemary—fruits, vegetables, and herbs are simply wonderfully tempting: their taste, their smell, and almost always their appearance as well. Which parts of the plants do we actually eat? We enjoy the broccoli florets. The bark of the cinnamon tree adds a special touch to rice pudding and cookies. The delicious aggregate fruits of the raspberry plant go straight into our mouths as soon as they’re picked. Tailored to the children’s ages, this workshop offers plenty to marvel at, discover, smell, and taste. We’ll peel, cut up, draw, and plant.

The workshop takes place outdoors. Children need weather-appropriate clothing and adequate sun protection!
