Tweens can stretch their culinary skills while cooking seasonally from the garden. This program, led by BBG Director of Education Bridgette Stone, is designed for 5th-8th graders to help students learn the fundamentals of cooking, try out new plant-based recipes and make friends along the way. Participants will harvest fresh vegetables and herbs from the BBG garden and transform them into delicious recipes while gaining new cooling skills and exploring new flavors. This after-school cooking program is held in our teaching kitchen and is sponsored by Guido’s Fresh Marketplace. Scholarships are available.

Bridgette Stone is the Director of Education at Berkshire Botanical Garden. With over 10 years of teaching experience, she is passionate about connecting people with their local food system and empowering kids through hands-on experiences.
