PLANTING AND PROPAGATING HERBS AND SPICES

Join Lei Lani Davis during this hands-on workshop, held Saturday, April 14, 2012 from 10am-2pm at B.B.Brown's Gardens in Clermont. The workshop is designed for levels of beginner to intermediate experience. Beginning with general information about herbs and what herbs grow best in which temperatures, soil and PH, we will quickly move into learning how and when to sow seeds properly for success. Try your hand at transplanting bare root and "plug" transplants as well as working with "cuttings"…learn how to decide which method of propagation is best for a particular type of plant, and what time of year is best for propagation. Lei Lani will demonstrate simple layering and the proper way to divide plants.

APRIL 15, 2012 10AM - 2PM
Join Lei Lani Davis during this hands-on workshop, held April 15, 2012 from 10am-2pm at B.B.Brown's Gardens in Clermont. The workshop is designed for levels of intermediate to advanced. Beginning with a brief refresher we quickly move into more in depth on preserving herbs and the equipment and tools that she has found useful over years of trial and error. A variety of herbal vinegars will be available to sample with several tasty foods allowing you to decide which your favorite is before venturing into making one of your very own herbal vinegar delights.
The afternoon session will focus on herbal oils, salves and lotions as you watch how to make your own fresh distilled water using fragrant herbs from your own back yard, or containers, and then how to make oil and lotion from that
