GROWING HERBS AT HOME CLASS
If the picture above confuses you, you're not alone. But we at the Farmers' Market are interested in making cooking a little easier for you, so we're offering a free class in "Growing herbs at home" taught by our very own expert, Tracey Aubin of Terra Farms. This hour long class is taking place at 10am April 24th and is available by registration only. The class will teach you about the different types of herbs and their usages, in addition to how to plant and sustain hebs at home.
