“Frosting the Conservatory” gingerbread building event, Dec. 10

This Saturday, the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park is holding their annual “Frosting the Conservatory” workshop. Stop by to build your own holiday creations from gingerbread, and help support Conservatory programs at the same time.

Sink your teeth into the holidays with this fun edible architecture event for the whole family. Drop in between 11 AM and 3 PM, and you¹ll receive delectable building supplies including Graham Crackers, frosting and candy treats to construct the mini greenhouse of your dreams. Take it home for the holiday table, or eat it right on the spot.

The Poetry Store will also be at the event, ready and willing to create a free poem for you right on the spot. Get one made for a friend or family member, or ask them to whip up an ode to you on their vintage typewriter.

The cost to participate is $10 per building kit, and all ages are welcome. Proceeds from the “Frosting the Conservatory” event go towards the Maintenance Fund, which helps keep the historic greenhouse on the building frosty white.

While you’re there, don’t miss the Playland-themed Garden Railway in the special exhibits room. Well, that is if you can get up after having eaten your gingerbread house…

  1. Thanks this was great the kids loved it! The staff was asking for you too

  2. Glad you had a good time! Did the gingerbread construction make it home or did it get consumed post-build? 😉
