Classroom in the Garden
Glensheen: The Historic Congdon Estate 3300 London Rd., Duluth, Minnesota 55804
Classroom in the Garden is a brand-new Wednesday night series taking place during the month of September. Glensheen is known for the incredibly, impressive mansion. However, the 12-acre estate is equally cool for reasons like the Vegetable Garden, which cranks out over 2,000 pounds of produce every year. All of the produce is donated to a local food shelf, Second Harvest Food Bank.
Classroom in the Garden takes advantage of this tasty gift right in our back yard. A UMD Chef will showcase different recipes each week using vegetables from the Glensheen's Vegetable Garden.
They will literally pull carrots from the ground and pluck corn from its stalk to cook samples right in front of you.
Classroom in the Garden is every Wednesday night in September from 6 to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Small samples will be served.
