ANNUAL STRAWBERRY DAY IN THE JAM KITCHEN

            Strawberry season has arrived on Cape cod, and Annual Strawberry Day on Saturday, June 15 is the perfect time to visit the Thornton Burgess Green Briar Nature Center & Jam Kitchen.  Come and enjoy fresh strawberries in a homemade dessert for $8 served from 11am to 2pm in the historic Jam Kitchen along with demonstrations of old-fashioned strawberry jam making.  Browse in the unique Mercantile offering Green Briar jams and a wide variety of nature-related books, gifts and toys.  Stroll the paths of the award-winning Wildflower Garden and the grounds around the "Smiling Pool" pond. View the gallery exhibit featuring the life and works of the renowned children's author and conservationist Thornton W. Burgess.  His stories of Peter Rabbit and animal friends have introduced generations of children to a love of wildlife and appreciation for the natural world.  Many events are scheduled throughout 2024 in celebration of Burgess' 150th Birthday!

            Something for all to enjoy on an early summer's day.
