AARP Eye Center
Learn how to grow, prune, and harvest culinary herbs.
About the Event
Join AARP Vermont and the nonprofit organization Vermont Garden Network (VGN) for a hands-on workshop to identify perennial and annual herbs, to practice planting and pruning techniques, and to participate in harvesting.
Growing herbs in a backyard raised bed or in a container on your porch is a practical way to bring delicious flavors into your life. Culinary herbs such as basil, cilantro, thyme, rosemary and chives are easy to grow in abundance once you learn growing requirements and how best to care for herbs.
Attendees will participate in a make-and-take activity to select their favorite herbs freshly harvested from the garden and prepare a jar of herbed butter to take home.
We will meet at the Tommy Thompson Community Garden at the Intervale in Burlington.
