Join us for a five-part comprehensive workshop series on becoming an herb gardener!  

Each session delves into essential skills and knowledge for planning, sowing, growing, maintaining, harvesting and using herbs in the home garden. 

Starting with an introduction of Medicinal and Culinary herbs grown in our Museum Garden. Participants will learn herb garden basics. We’ll cover plant selection, planting, and maintenance. Then we’ll explore seasonal care techniques. This is perfect for beginners or seasoned gardeners looking to deepen their herbal expertise. All sessions will be hands-on, and participants will grow a tray of herbs ready to plant in their home garden.
