During this relaxed workshop, you’ll plant a collection of classic culinary herbs — Genovese basil, Italian parsley, Italian oregano, culinary chives, and thyme — and learn how to start them successfully indoors so they’re ready to snip and enjoy in your cooking.

We’ll walk through simple seed-starting tips, how to care for your herbs as they grow, and the best way to harvest them so they keep producing.

We’ll also share an easy herb butter demo using fresh chives — a simple way to start using your herbs in everyday meals (samples included!).

• Extra seed for direct sowing or succession planting

• Herb butter tasting demo
