Spend early spring at the garden, under the guidance of our trained horticulturists, tapping and collecting sap from trees. You will also be able to see how this sap is processed into delicious syrup. No previous experience required, however reasonable physical fitness, ability to work outside and some knowledge of plant biology are an asset. Orientation and training is provided.
