We all know we're in the season of planting, right? Yet, we're also in a season of harvesting and Preserving. So…
You're invited to join Rose (who you may remember as Walk in the Woods) and Farmer Melody for an hour exploration of the Foods and Medicines that we're already harvesting to store for the months ahead. Rose will share a bit about what she's putting by this June, some of the ways she'll be making use of those preserves (with methods other than canning), and will demonstrate her preferred method for creating an herbal salt that you can easily create at home from your current and future harvests.
Class outside unless inclement weather, please wear sturdy shoes/dress appropriately; parking is on the grass. If you have mobility concerns please email Melody at [email protected] so we can figure out how to accommodate.
