Lunch & Learn: Growing Herbs

From anise to basil to oregano to savory, herbs add character to our gardens and flavor to our cooking. Join Convivium’s Farm Manager, AJ, for this Lunch and Learn covering the basics of growing these sometimes-finicky little plants that bring so much to our lives. A long list of herbs will be covered, including starting, growing and harvesting tips for each.

Registration is appreciated but not required for this free event.
