Workshop: Growing Culinary Herbs

This class will teach you the basics of growing your own herb plants from seed. You take home a sown flat of your choice of herb seeds to tend. Learn the soil, light, warmth, fertilizing, and climate requirements for the basic culinary herbs: basil, chives, oregano, rosemary, marjoram, tarragon, thyme, parsley and cilantro. We will also discuss some of the more esoteric herbs such as dill, savory, salad burnet, shiso, stevia, lavender, sorrel, bronze fennel, anise hyssop, mints, chamomile, catnip, borage, lovage, lemon balm, and more.

We will sow a tray of herbs for you to take home and take cuttings for rooting of other perennial herbs. The value of the plants propagated in this class for you to take home is potentially $150.

This class is taught by farmer Cynthia Sandberg co-founder of the World Tomato Society, and is held at Love Apple Farms' spring plant sale, located at 5311 Scotts Valley Dr., Scotts Valley, CA. Read speaker and class reviews for Cynthia Sandberg, here.

Thank you Cynthia! Your class was awesome. We loved all the information and I especially liked your "garden-NAZI" tactics. Most classes are RUINED by people that think the class is just about them. They ask a million questions and you don't get a fraction of the info you could have otherwise.

You ROCK!

Can't wait to come back for another class and some worm poop

Thank you for the great herb class today. My daughter Tammy also loved it, it was her first visit to your farm and I know it wont be the last.

I really appreciated the way you ran the class and did not allow it to be monopolized by a few as so many classes elsewhere always are. I loved all the different seeds you provided for us and I hope mine are successful. I will keep you informed.

Again, many thanks

I'm determined to try to grow herbs from seeds this spring. I always get the little started plants, but this year will be different.
