LRCC to Offer "Planning Your Herb Garden" Workshop

3/29/11
"Herb gardens are easy, fun, decorative, and delicious," says Daryl Hoitt, owner and operator of "Red Fox Farm" in Gilmanton, NH. "We offer tons of herbs in the spring for seedlings and love helping people decide which herbs they would love to have near their kitchens for cooking and enjoying."

Hoitt is offering Lakes Region Community College's (LRCC) first-ever "Planning Your Herb Garden Workshop" designed to help participants identify a good location for easy-to-grow herbs. She will also discuss common and not so common herbs, both annual and perennial, that can be used fresh, dried, or frozen. Also covered will be how to grow herbs in your permanent gardens, between bushes and along pathways.

"Enjoy the freshest and most fragrant herbs for your favorite dishes right out of your own garden," says Hoitt. "Come to class prepared with an idea of the size of your garden so you can work out the details in class, or take advantage of this great opportunity to get inspired and think of locations and ways to add the joy of herbal gardening to your home."

There will be a morning class on Monday, April 4, 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., and an evening class on Tuesday, April 5, from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The cost of the workshop is $20.00. Call LRCC at 524-3207 for further information and to register for the new Herb Workshop.
