Apple Seeds is hosting a Garden to Table cooking class at Children's Library. Apple Seeds is a nonprofit devoted to inspiring healthy living through garden-based education.
During the program, your child will visit the garden, read and prepare recipes, and sit down to enjoy a healthy meal they have made. Students will harvest from the garden and use the produce to prepare a healthy snack. They should be prepared to be outside for a short time.
Recipe for the program - summer pasta salad.
The Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library & Learning Center includes a computer lab with fourteen computers, teaching kitchen, large activity area, individual and group study rooms, theater, and community room in addition to a collection of more than 21,000 books, DVDs, and CDs.
In the 165-seat theater, children can experience all aspects of theater, including designing and building sets, writing plays, acting, and costume design. The state-of-the-art sound system, lighting, and projection screens is also be used for movies, concerts, and lectures.
The Children’s Library’s grounds are integral to the entire facility’s program. A greenhouse and teaching garden helps children learn about growing healthy foods as well as provide produce that are used in the teaching kitchen programs. The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
