A Garden Adventure in Growing Herbs
Join us for another “… & Sip” event in our outdoor classroom with this unique learning and tasting experience learning to grow HERBS!
This creative interactive workshop is a guided exploration of starting your own mini herb garden to take home while you sip a selection of lovely organic wine and savor delicious cheeses. You’ll leave this event with your very own pot of herbs of your choosing that you plant yourself to grow at home.
No experience needed, all curious humans welcomed as our fearless leader, master gardener, culinary grower and owner of The Cook’s Garden, Geri Miller, guides you through a series of “learning-by-doing” exercises to expand your food growing skills. You will embrace the magic of this workshop - plant in one hand, glass of wine in the other - as we take you on a journey that will feed all your senses!
