This class is designed for beginning herbalists who want to expand their herb garden beyond chives and parsley. Herbalist Lauri Lee, from the Madison Herb Society, will discuss basic "garden recipes" that will help you customize your herb garden to fit your special interest: basic culinary, medicinal, tea, salad, Italian blend, and dessert. Get guidance on plant selection, plant sources for purchasing, and how to plant and grow herbs. Learn what the herbs look like, how they taste, what parts are used, and whether to use them fresh or dried. Each participant receives a Beyond Chives and Parsley herb book and recipes. The cost of the class is $36 for Olbrich members and $45 for the general public. Early registration is advised since space is limited. Registration is required by February 18.
