By Joei Chan

Join The Growing Center at 22 Vinal Avenue in Somerville for their 25th annual Maple Boil Down. Fans of maple syrup will not want to miss this event on Saturday, March 2, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (rain date March 9)

Not only will maple syrup lovers be able to taste fresh local syrup collected from the sugar maple trees from Tufts Campus, but they can learn the process of sugar mapping, witness the process of boiling sap into maple syrup, and even connect with other maple syrup lovers within the area.

At the annual public Maple Boil every March, youth and adults alike have a chance to learn about tree anatomy and physiology, experience first-hand the process of making fresh maple syrup, and, of course, enjoy tasty maple treats.
