Event Description

Hands-on Herb Potting Class with Doreen & Maya
Class Fee - $25
Class limit 25 people – you must RSVP to attend – no walk ins

Learn how to create and actually make an herb container garden for yourself or to give as gifts for the holiday. This hands-on class will show you and have you planting herbs in a container or pot that you bring. We will supply the soil (properly amended) and 3 herb plants per person.
 
Herbs are so easy to grow here and have many uses. We’ll cover the use of herbs and preserving herbs in detail. There will even be a sweet treat made from herbs to sample. Come learn how to enhance your success to have an herb garden that will be the envy of the neighborhood and use fresh or dried herbs in cooking and other ways in your home.
 
Maya will also give a tour of her farm and share how she works a production farm on just over one acre that supplies food to 25 restaurants, a CSA and several farmers markets.
 
The class fee ($25) includes materials ($10) to make your container garden. You will get the amended soil (and learn the secret recipe) and 3 herb plants. You must bring a pot or container. Just be sure you can carry it home when it is filled with herbs and soil!
 
You must RSVP for this class so we know how much material to have on-hand. Class limit is 25 people.
