Culinary Herbs: History,Uses, Tastes, & Health Benefits

Join Peggy Newfield of Newfield Herb Farm in the Albany Town Hall to learn more about the culinary herbs you already use and to be introduced to herbs you may have never tasted.

This FREE workshop is open to all (including kids) but we ask that you pre-register by July 17 as space is limited.

The workshop will cover: * The difference between culinary herbs and spices and a brief history of both * How to evaluate and shop for culinary herbs * How to grow, harvest, and preserve culinary herbs. Starts will be available to take home for free! * How to use which herb or combination of herbs for which type of dish.
