"The Chicago Park District is excited to work closely with the Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance to produce a brand new event that celebrates a variety of plants living here at the Conservatory, said Mary Eysenbach, Director of Conservatories. The 1st Annual Sweet Saturdays evolved from Chocolate Fest as a way to celebrate not only our chocolate trees, but the many plants that help create the different varieties of candy we all love. The new event focuses on plants that provide the key ingredients to our favorite sweet treats. The Garfield Park Conservatory, a veritable plant-based candy show, is home to many living sweets such as bananas, vanilla beans, cinnamon bark, and chocolate trees. Visitors of all ages can sample the facts, the flavors and the fun of some of the most tantalizing tropical treats. Experience any or all of the following sweet activities at each Sweet Saturday: · Tropical Treat Stations: Throughout the Conservatory visitors will learn a fact and sample a flavor. · Hands-on Activity Stations: Visitors of all ages can participate in designing a scratch and sniff necklace with cinnamon and sandpaper, designing a “leaf rubbing” Valentine’s Day Card, making a Chocolate Sachet with the sweet-smelling shells of cocoa beans, and other drop-in stations, such as Sweet Reads & Candy College. · Samples Sweets: Visitors can sample sweet offerings provided by various product partners hosted in the Sugar from the Sun exhibit. The following companies will be offering samples during the corresponding dates: - February 7 - Baskin Robbins, Starbucks Coffee - February 14 - Divine Chocolate (fair trade chocolate company) - February 21 - Wholesome Sweeteners (category leader in Fair Trade Certified organically and natural sugars, syrups, nectars and honeys) · Tropical Café: Attendees can buy sandwiches, souvenir treats, and listen to the sweet sounds of tropical tunes while relaxing. · Member’s Only Chocolate Lounge: Members of the Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance can enjoy special perks and activities.
