Have you ever wondered how to make your own chocolate or where it comes from? Have your tot find out in Seedlings this week. We will taste a variety of chocolates from various stages in the chocolate making process ending with their very own chocolate creation to take home. Kids love finding out that chocolate is horrible!

With the beautiful foothills as a backdrop imagine more than one million twinkling lights, illuminating a snow covered pathway leading to a charming ranch house decorated for the Holidays. This is what you can experience as a Trail of Lights volunteer starting this weekend at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield in Littleton, CO. Volunteers are needed to help take tickets, assist with children’s activities and greet visitors at the historic ranch house. The event begins Friday, December 4 and continues through Sunday, January 3. Volunteer shifts are Wednesdays-Sundays from 5-9:30pm.
Registration is easy, just e-mail vol@botanicgardens.org to receive information about open shifts.
This is a great way for individuals or small groups to spread some holiday cheer!
