For our next Herbs for Healing session, on Saturday 10th June 11am-3pm, we will be joined by Ann Owen from Enion's Garden, Furnace, to learn about some exciting and unusual ways to use herbs in the kitchen:"10 ways with herbs: liven up your meals with fresh herbs, muddle them into your cocktails, dry them for winter use, mix with salt for the bbq, make pestos, oils and vinegars. We’ll have a look at the many ways herbs can be used to make your cooking more interesting. If you like to have a go, bring your favorite knife and chopping board, as well as a clean jar or two, so you can take something home". We will follow this with some maintenance on the apothecary and pricking out of seedlings. Hot drinks, tools and the gazebo shelter will be provided, but as always, please dress for the unpredictable weather!Pop us a message to let us know if you plan on coming,Fern fern@gerddibroddyfigardens.co.uk
