Join us in UofL's sustainable Garden Commons next to the Baptist Center to learn about the process of tapping maple trees and making maple syrup!
Our workshop leader, Dave Barker, has been tapping trees and making his own syrup in Louisville for years.
He will give a brief, hands-on workshop on the process and then attendees will get to work with him as we install taps on our own maple trees around campus.
Participants will have the opportunity to sign-up to volunteer to empty buckets as they fill throughout the coming weeks.
Please dress warmly so we can work outside.
January/February 2025 date TBA, 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, please check link for updates

Serviceberries (aka Juneberries) are native to Kentucky (and 48 states!). They are planted all over the city as a common, low-maintenance street tree.
The fruits are ripe for only two weeks around June 1st. They are similar to blueberries but a little bit nutty (the trees are in the almond family!). UofL's campus boasts many loaded serviceberries and during this special workshop, we will walk around to visit many of them!
Pick and take home as many as you can. Enjoy them fresh or freeze them for pies and smoothies year-round!
