Soup N' Walk: Cylburn Arboretum

Fall Soup N’Walk Series 2011

By popular demand, Soup N’Walk will be back in the Fall with three educational walks led by a Cylburn naturalist. This is a perfect way to discover the gardens and woodland trails at Cylburn. Following the walk, a lunch of soup and salad will be served in the Cylburn mansion prepared by Atwater’s. Chef Nona from Atwaters will share with the group her soup-making secrets, as well as the nutritional benefits of using local ingredients. The soup and salad will reflect the season and walk. Soup N'Walk is a perfect activity for groups, or for friends just wanting to get together for an afternoon of education and discovery. If you need special accommodations, the office should be informed at least two weeks in advance.

The fee for each walk is $20 for members and $25 for non-members. Call the Cylburn Office at 410-367-2217 to reserve your spot. The registration fee is due at the time of registration. We sold out last fall, so CALL EARLY.
