Take the mystery and fear out of growing and cooking with herbs — basil, dill, cilantro, lavender, rosemary, thyme, sage, tarragon, to name a few. Taste and smell a variety of herbs and discover the role these flavors have when added to everyday or special dishes and cuisines. In this 1-hour make-and-take class, we will have an open discussion about herbs and what to do with them, as well as plant a full pot for your patio or to set by your back door to use for cooking all summer long. Come with questions or ideas to share! Since we are working with soil, please dress appropriately or bring an apron and gloves. If you would like to bring an additional person to class to help prepare your pot, you may add them to your registration for an extra $5. You will work together from one set of supplies.
