Culinary Herbs: History, Uses, Tastes & Health Benefits

Past event
Jul 20, 2024, 1 to 3 PM

Grow Your Own and the Albany Library are collaborating to bring an herb workshop to the Albany Town Hall!

Join Peggy Newfield of Newfield Herb Farm in Craftsbury to learn more about the culinary herbs you already use and be introduced to herbs you may have never tasted. This FREE workshop is open to all (including kids) but we ask that you register online by July 17 as space is limited. The workshop will cover:
* The difference between culinary herbs and spices and a brief history of both
* How to evaluate and shop for culinary herbs
* How to grow, harvest, and preserve culinary herbs. Starts will be available to
take home for free!
* How to use which herb or combination of herbs for which type of dish.

Grow Your Own is a project of the Hardwick Area Food Pantry and the Center for an Agricultural Economy. The mission of Grow Your Own is to increase community food independence and well-being through shared knowledge, skills, and experience.
