PAUS Winter Kitchen Garden Workshop

Join our Gardens & Meadows Curator, Adam, for a hands-on workshop where you’ll create your own Winter Kitchen mini-garden — a terracotta pot filled with edible herbs and greens to nibble on and brighten your dishes through winter. Choose from a variety of easy-to-grow seedlings nurtured in our greenhouse, from salad leaves and Swiss chard to pansies, chives, and other culinary herbs. Adam will guide you through every step of planting your mini-garden using PAUS-made compost and woodchip mulch, and will share practical tips on caring for your pot so your herbs and salads can thrive for months. Before planting, enjoy a tour of our "no-dig" garden and discover more about the magic and importance of home compost making. You will have the chance to ask Adam questions about growing and tap into his expert knowledge. Finally, unwind with a stroll along our barefoot walking trail and immerse yourself in the sights and textures.
