“CULINARY HERBS – MORE THAN FLAVOR”

Join us for an entertaining and delicious afternoon exploring the many uses of culinary herbs. Our August 2006 open house seminar will be held at the Green House Bed and Breakfast where herbs grow in abundance. Guia Hoffman and Candice Chaffee will discuss growing, harvesting, and everyday cooking with culinary herbs. Candice will provide an overview of the medicinal qualities while Guia will offer sample dishes and take-home recipes. This presentation will also describe our Herbal Apprenticeship training program scheduled for September 2006.

Come enjoy delectable, creative dishes with culinary herbs. We guarantee you’ll leave with a new appreciation of nature’s bounty.
