Unlock the Power of Lavender
August 3, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Learn more about growing lavender & turning this fragrant herb into value-added products!
Join us on August 3rd at Lavender Skies Farm for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn about best varieties of lavender to grow, techniques for harvesting and drying, and how to make your very own lavender hydrosol. All workshop participants will get to take home their very own self-made bottle of lavender hydrosol!
The event will be led by farm owners Yohannes and Maryann Cusimano who have extensive experience growing lavender and other scented plants and making value-added products. Maryann and Yohannes come from a long tradition of Spanish and Italian herb growers and are pleased to carry the tradition forward. For more information about their farm and products, visit their website here: http://www.lavenderskiesva.com/
This workshop will include hands-on activities and a potluck! Contact niamh@futureharvestcasa.org with questions. Scholarships are available by contacting Josephine Mooney at 757-710-7266.
