Well Parkland Garden Centre has you covered- whether you’re a seasoned pro or super-green, if you love gardening, these upcoming workshops are for you!
Cooking with Herbs
by Francois Michaud
Learn: to use herbs in everything including drinks, soups and meals,
how to grow them 12 months out of the year, the different ways of
preserving them after the season, the medical power and usage, and
the permaculture way of growing your own herbs.
Food is medicine and herbs should be a central part of your daily regimen. The best way to
bring them into your life is to master not only how to use them in your kitchen but how to
live, nuture and grow them yourself, so you can maximize their use, quality and freshness.
