Dear families,
Join us at Common Ground this winter for one class each month from December through March!

Registration for our winter classes is live now! Details below, and online registration is HERE.
Because we will be using indoor spaces, enrollment is LIMITED and will not be expanded. Please register early to reserve your space.
You can register for one or more classes - you do not need to choose the whole series. If you are registering more than one child, a sibling discount will automatically apply when you check-out.

Fiber arts! Join us to card and spin wool, try some needle felting, and make a needle felted project to take home. We will visit our farm animals and have a visit from an angora rabbit whose fur is brushed and used for spinning into beautiful yarn!

Cooking and nature in the winter: The greenhouse is still growing food through the winter! Join us to make some homemade garlic bread with garlic from our farm. We will venture down to the unheated high tunnels on the farm where winter spinach and other hardy greens are still peeking through the soil. We will harvest winter greens and use other stored farm vegetables to make a hearty soup to go with our garlic bread. Please come dressed for indoor and outdoor activities, as we will also get outside for some winter nature adventures. Depending on the weather, we might take a winter wildlife walk, build a snow fort, or put out some food for hungry birds!

Winter survival! Cross your fingers for snow as we learn about how animals and humans survive in winter! We will look for animal tracks, scat, and other wildlife signs and play a scent tracking game to learn how animals follow scents in the woods. Weather permitting, we will also enjoy a campfire and try out some snowshoeing!

Maple sugaring: February and March are sugaring season in Connecticut! The sap flows strongly on sunny mornings when it is just above freezing. Hopefully we will catch a sap run and taste some sap right from the tree! We will check out the Sugar Shack and see where the sap is boiled into syrup, make and eat some maple treats, and explore the forest for signs of spring.
