Grow your own culinary herbs, available for snipping from May to November. Nothing enhances meals like the taste of fresh herbs. Create an herb garden that can be moved from place to place to take full advantage of available sunlight. Plant 6 classic culinary herbs in a 14″ container to grow on a sunny porch, patio or doorstep. Plants, pot, soil and a copy of instructor Betsy Williams’s cookbook, Mrs. Thrift Cooks, are included. Tastings of a selection of herb butters, pestos, vinegars and salts, as well as rosemary walnuts, are also included. Please bring an apron and flower scissors to class.
