"Tasty, Fun & Beautiful: Creating a Family Herb Box" is an interactive, hands-on program designed for parents and kids to experience the joy of growing herbs while using all of their senses!

- Plant & Grow!  Learn the best ways to plant and care for herbs that thrive in different seasons.
- Harvest & Enjoy!  Use your homegrown herbs in easy, tasty, seasonal recipes for Summer & Fall.

Two Seasonal Sessions!
