Saturday, June 10; ongoing from 12:00 to 3:00 pm
The artisan chocolatiers of San Francisco's Dandelion Chocolate will be at the Conservatory to share how they roast, crack, sort, winnow, grind, conch, and temper small batches of cacao beans and then mold and package each bar by hand. Drop by anytime that afternoon to learn about the process, then, if you wish, visit the Conservatory's own Theobroma cacao tree inside the greenhouse (event is free, entry to the Conservatory requires admission).
This event is part of Conservatory Curiosities, a summer series of free, outdoor guest demonstrations related to the plant collection inside.
