This workshop will cover time saving and environmentally sound techniques of growing fresh herbs and medicinal plants in your own home garden. Topics will cover “no-till” gardening, plant propagation techniques, soil health, container planting and which healing plants are easiest to cultivate. Come enjoy fresh herbal teas from the COBHA garden while we discuss how to let nature do the gardening work for you, and sample some of the benefits.  Bring your questions and take home herb starts from Bettina’s garden!

Meet at UCSC Arboretum for a docent led walk. Two other beautiful gardens will also be explored. This annual event has been a favorite for years! Bring a lunch and wear comfortable shoes.
