By Catherine Haug, April 1, 2016; updated July 31, 2016 to add information about August and September classes
The following is from Kathie Lapcevic, one of ESP’s presenters. Her “spring classes at FVCC have completely sold out. There will be summer classes, however; so stay tuned for that catalog coming in the mail soon.”
Additionally, she offers several sustainability-related classes at her home in C Falls. This summer’s topic is “Herbal Cookery & Backyard Medicine.” These classes will focus on common herbs; how to use them in your kitchen and in your medicine cabinet. According to Kathie, “We’ll get creative, have lots of fun, get hands-on, sample finished products, and much more.”
Each class will have two different sessions in hopes that at least one of the dates will work with your schedule:
Herbal Cookery
June 25, 2016, 10am to 1pm- August 27, 2016, 10am to 1pm
- Includes herb walks, hands-on demonstrations, wire-bound books, and samples to take home.
Backyard Medicine
July 16, 2016, 10am to 1pm- September 24, 2016, 10am to 1pm
- Includes herb walks, hands-on demonstrations, wire-bound books, and samples to take home.
