Description

Are you excited about growing culinary and medicinal herbs? Do you want to know more about the perennial herbs you have in your garden? Join us at Sawmill Herb Farm for a workshop on propagating and dividing perennial herbs. We will start with a spring tour of the gardens, where we will highlight beneficial properties of specific plants. We will learn about using low till and minimal disturbance practices to grow perennial herbs, and basic strategies for incorporating herbs into an existing vegetable garden. We will focus on propagating and dividing plants in the spring for proper plant care. We will demonstrate several techniques, and participants will have a chance to get their hands in the dirt to practice! Space is limited. Registration required. Wear closed-toed shoes and appropriate clothing for garden work. The base price for tickets is $10 per workshop. We encourage BIPOC participants, those experiencing economic hardship, and those from systemically marginalized communities to opt for a fee that works for you. And we encourage those who wish to help GFN increase our support for low income and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) gardeners to pay more than the base fee. Please opt for a fee that works for you and that fairly represents your ability to support our work. If you want to pay $0, please email [email protected] and we will register you.
