You already know and love Arden’s in Rowayton, CT, for their coffee, smoothies, toasts, salads and other delicious dishes —and now you can head to the café for fun workshops, from floral arranging to coffee tasting to cookie decorating for the kids. It’s all part of their new program, Camp Arden. “We wanted to launch Camp Arden to expand our offerings beyond that of a typical café and give our customers the chance to develop new passions or skill sets,” says owner Jill Brody. “We also thought Camp Arden would be an ideal avenue to showcase the many unique facets of our partners’ businesses and to provide our customers an even larger window into our business.”
They kicked things off in the fall with a workshop—and apps and wine as well —on creating floral arrangements for Thanksgiving with fellow Rowayton-based company, Stems + Co. And they’ll have plenty more options in the future: “For 2023, we plan to roll out a variety of one-of-a-kind programming both inside the walls of Arden’s and outside, such as our partner Millstone Farms, who will host a maple sugaring session with us at their farm in February,” says Brody.
