Workshop overview
This hands-on gardening workshop focuses on growing summer herbs successfully in containers, with an emphasis on healthy roots, appropriate spacing, and long-term care. Weโll look at common mistakes that cause herbs to struggle and how to set them up to thrive through the season.
Youโll learn how different herbs grow, how to choose containers that support them, and how to harvest in ways that encourage continued growth rather than stress.
This workshop is practical, beginner-friendly, and designed to help you grow herbs youโll actually use.
