Embrace the teachings of our Sustainable Agriculture & Green Education program through seasonal workshops designed to share the love of local food and regenerative agriculture practices!
Planting a Tea Garden
Saturday, May 4, 1-2:30 pm Meet in the farm garden.
Imagine cups of iced or steaming hot herbal tea…. that you grow yourself! Let gardener Lois Lauer teach you how to grow your own tea herbs. Chamomile (pictured here), Peppermint, Lemon Verbena, and Apple Mint, plus Sweet Leaf Stevia for natural sweetening. We’ll sample teas, talk about their growing habits, their needs, how to use fresh or dry for winter use, and then we’ll each head home with 5 pots of herbs, which can be planted in the ground or in a large pot, for a summer tea garden! Class fee: $15 plus $15 materials fee. Bring a box or basket to carry home your herbs. For a great companion class, also sign up for the morning Folkart Garden Markers workshop, bring your lunch and stay for the afternoon tea garden workshop.
