Speaking Events
Join me on Saturday, July 18th, 11:00 am to noon, at Blooming Hill Lavender Farm in Purcellville, VA, for a culinary herb presentation. I will bring 15 herb cuttings to pass around and discuss how to grow and how to use in the kitchen. Plus I will bring seeds for you to take home. Register with Blooming Hill. If you are interested in having me speak to your organization, check out my list of presentation topics on my website and contact me. I enjoy talking about culinary herbs, edible flowers, holiday herbs & spices, seed starting and seed saving, and much more.
