Description

A hands-on workshop to build an herb spiral and learn all about this attractive, energy-efficient way to grow herbs. Do you have limited sun, space or time to garden? Want a highly productive, energy-efficient and attractive way to grow herbs? Upgrade your windowsill planter and consider a herb spiral! Join Convivium Farm Manager, A.J., for this interactive workshop where you will first learn the basics of what an herb spiral is and how it functions, and then assist in the actual building of an herb spiral in one of our neighborhood gardens. Information and advice will be provided on the best herbs to grow in the different parts of the spiral – you will even tour Convivium’s spiral! This class is very hands-on as you will be building the potato towers from start to finish, please dress accordingly. For those who don’t want to partake in the physical labor, you are welcome to come and watch. Note: There will be some interaction with other participants as you will be working together to assemble the herb spiral. To keep participants and our staff safe, the workshop will take place outside, the group will be limited to 10 people, and masks will be required (covering your nose and mouth). Registration is $15 and all proceeds support Convivium's free casserole program that provides 175 wholesome meals to local families each week.
