The Omaha World-Herald featured the Growing Gardeners Workshop on Cheesemaking in the September 12 "Events this Week" section. The Cheesemaking workshop will be held Wednesday, September 13th 6-8PM at The Big Garden, 5602 Read Street. Participants will learn how to make two types of homemade cheeses.

The Growing Gardeners Workshop Series is a collaboration between City Sprouts and the Big Garden. We work together to offer four seasons of hands-on workshops that feature skills and techniques for every gardener and urban farmer: growing, cooking, preserving and eating healthy local food. All workshops are free or low-cost, all ages, and no one will be turned away for inability to pay.
