During this class children will have a chance to create and then enjoy their own works of festive, edible art featuring local plant based ingredients. Recommended for children ages 3 and up and their caregivers. Fee: Trustees of Reservations Members: $20 per family; Nonmembers: $25 per family. Image from www.famlii.com
