This class is supported by the Emerson Ave. Community Garden and is part of their educational program.
Join us at the Westchester United Methodist Church on July 27th, 1-3:30pm for our Tomato Preservation class. Taught by master food preserver, Elizabeth Sala, and assisted by master gardener Dana Morgan, in this class we’ll discuss
