Maximizing and Using your Fabulous Culinary Herb Harvest (Winter Conference Workshop)

There are many creative uses for even the simplest of culinary herbs. Amy will share her experience growing a wide range of herbs for tea, culinary use and simple medicinal use. Learn how to grow herbs in open gardens, containers, unheated hoophouses, and even how to overwinter herbs indoors. Learn to work with the different plant growth patterns to maximize harvest and promote additional growth, how to use fresh herbs and then how to preserve and store them. Amy will share some of her fabulous recipes for pesto and other herb blends, from simple combinations to more complicated recipes.
