Rise and shine + happy Monday, Chattanooga. Trista here, and I’m starting to really miss leaving my house to see friends or catch a movie. Anyone else? ✋

But staying safe at home doesn’t mean we can’t join in on some fun with others. It’s been a while since we’ve written a Must-Do Monday for y’all, so we’re going to jump right into it with some really cool virtual events happening today + this week.
Virtual Must-Do Monday
CBD cocktails | Mon., April 20 | 7:30-8:30 p.m. | The Chattery, virtual class | $12 | In this class you’ll discuss using CBD in cocktails, why some bars are for it and others against it and you’ll receive cocktail + mocktail recipes to try at home.
Gardening for beginners | Tues., April 21 | 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. | Crabtree Farms, virtual class | $24 | Crabtree’s executive director aims to make vegetable gardening approachable, and each participant will leave with reference materials, basic gardening tips + some new confidence.
Nature walk your way to art | Wed., April 22 | 2-2:30 p.m. | Hunter Museum, Facebook live | Free | Take a nature walk before class and pick up anything that catches your eye. During the class, you’ll learn how to make these items into a piece of art. Check the link for recommended items.
Introduction to the Lightroom app | Thurs., April 23 | 5:30-7 p.m. | The Chattery, virtual class | $20 | Taken up photography as a pastime lately? Find one of your favorite photos and take a deep dive into the features of the Lightroom app.
Curbside communion | Fri., April 24 | 5-8 p.m. | The Mad Priest, 719 Cherry St. | Curbside cocktails from a bar cart — it’s roulette style, so just choose booze-forward or citrus-forward. Must purchase food with alcohol (choose between spicy fries + pimento dip with pretzels).
Bonus: The Tennessee Aquarium is doing an #AquariumAtHome Facebook live stream at 1 p.m. every day. Check their Facebook page each morning for details on that day’s video and tune in with questions + comments. They also always have live streams of sharks, penguins + otters and at-home activities + resources for a day of aqua fun.
And if this wasn’t enough for you, be sure to check out Chattanooga Tourism Co.’s page of virtual experiences, and tag your own at-home fun using the hashtag #ConnectChatt. 🙌
