Herbs in 4.5 hours

Parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme are the herbs just about anyone older than Generation Xers can cite by heart because of the wonderful tune, Scarborough Fair. You will be able to talk knowledgeably about more herbs if you attend the herbs workshops hosted by the CEED Centre with guest instructor Sue Fleming, facilitator of the Intergenerational Garden and experienced grower. 

Sue will be teaching a three-session series on herbs on successive Saturdays starting January 24 at 9:00 am. Each 90-minute session will focus on different aspects of growing and using your own culinary treasures. The CEED Centre provides a great setting for the workshops, which are affordable at $35 for all three sessions. Register here.
