"This spring, we have a DIY Terrarium class coming up, and a mixology class using shrubs— definitely not your typical cooking class!"

To that end, they have partnered with outdoor outfitter REI to offer a free weekly yoga class in the KITCHEN. "Our instructors welcome and encourage anyone who wants to join," says Leigh Jackson-Magennis, REI's manager of outdoor programs in New England. "We've had a wonderful response from the community and our staff; it's a great way to add value to the community and extend our partnership with The Trustees."
