A Garden Adventure in Creating a Unique Holiday Culinary Craft to Treasure or Gift
Join us for a little Holiday craft-making fun with our “Craft-a-Gift & Sip” workshop! This is a two and a half hour guided exploration of the design, harvesting and making of an herb pillar candle wreath made completely with herbs and greenery YOU harvest from our production garden! You gather herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage, bay leaf, oregano and create your own Holiday culinary magic all while enjoying a light nosh and sips. Give your creation as a perfect gift or as a treat for yourself!
No experience needed, all curious humans welcomed as our fearless leader, master gardener, culinary grower and owner of The Cook’s Garden, Geri Miller, guides you through a series of “learn-by-doing” exercises to expand your harvesting skills and creativity. You will embrace the magic of this workshop - herbs in one hand, a glass in the other - as we take you on a journey that will feed all your senses!
