STATE — University of Maine Extension staff and volunteers will lead a hands-on, interactive program to teach youth ages 9 and up how to grow and preserve the garden’s harvest.
The 4-H Kids Can Can program will be held from 9–11 a.m. on Wednesdays, July 20–Aug. 17.
Each session will begin in Extension’s Tidewater Gardens in Falmouth where youth will harvest the fruits and vegetables needed to make jam, pickles, salsa, and more. The program then moves to the UMaine Regional Learning Center Demo Kitchen where participants will prepare a batch of preserved foods. Each participant will take home a jar of preserves. Current 4-H enrollment is not required for participation.
The $5 fee per child covers all classes. Register and find more details on the program page. online For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation, call 207.781.6099 or 800.287.1471 (in Maine).
