Everyone is welcome to the Rhubarb Revival Workshop, Saturday, June 6, from 12-2 p.m., at the Walker House in Kincardine.

Discover its fascinating history, learn how to grow it successfully, and explore delicious ways to use it. Enjoy a taste of heritage with fresh scones and homemade rhubarb jam straight from the garden, and learn how to make refreshing rhubarb iced tea to enjoy all summer long.

Each guest will also take home a rhubarb seedling and recipes to continue the experience at home.

Tickets are $20 each, with proceeds going to the Bruce Botanical Food Gardens and the Walker House Museum.
