COMPLETE HERB GARDENING WEEKEND: PUT YOUR HERB GARDEN TO USE 3/15/26 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm
Once your garden is growing, it's time to plan on harvesting and using your herbs! In this class we will discuss how to maintain, prune and harvest from your herb garden, and how to put the gift of the harvest to use. Maintenance and pruning your herbs to produce healthy plants with plenty of material to harvest can be a little tricky.
In this class you will learn how to get the most and best from your herb garden, without overharvesting or damaging your plants. We will teach you which parts of the herbs to harvest - roots, shoots, leaves, flowers or seeds - and when to get the best food and medicine. Understanding how herbs grow, regrow after harvest, and their relationships to hardiness and even moon cycles can increase the potency and flavor. We will discuss how often to harvest and tools for harvesting.
Once harvested, we will show you how to dry and prepare herbs, which herbs to freeze and which should be prepared in oil or vinegar for longer storage.
