Long-serving garden volunteer Jude Rakowski will demonstrate the processes of harvesting and boiling Red Maple sap to make a foodstuff that was crucial to the survival of the early settlers. Rakowski is a dedicated garden steward who gathers and chops wood the entire year to fuel the fires used to boil the maple sap. IMPORTANT: This event is very dependent on weather conditions. Please check our social media pages the day of the event to make sure the event is still on.
