Hello SHS members and friends,
We are really excited to be giving a workshop with the SHS
on April 28 at 7PM (on Zoom) and wanted to provide some details to hopefully
entice you to attend!
At Bergamot & Basil Specialty Herbs our mission is to
have a large selection of quality herb bedding plants for you to take back to
your garden, patio or deck and start exploring in a new way. We want to be your herb plant supplier and
get you excited about what you are growing and making at home.
Our focus on flavour and function strives to inspire
gardeners to try both classic and new-to-you herbs to expand your reach in the
garden and the kitchen. We are passionate about exploring international
cuisines as well as improving habitats for beneficial insects.
Our workshop is called Take Your Herb Garden to the Next
Level! This will not be a “how-to-grow” workshop (though we will throw in our
favourite tips and be happy to answer your growing questions) but rather an
interactive discussion about some of our favourite plants we’ve come across the
past few years that we want you to know about! We want to introduce you to the
wide array of herbs available beyond parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme and get
you excited to grow some new-to-you plants that will up your game in the
kitchen and/or promote more biodiversity in your garden.
We encourage you to check out the plant listing on our website
to get an idea of the herbs we’ll be discussing. The workshop is free for SHS
members or $10 for non-members, but remember that memberships are only $15 and
quickly pay for themselves in discounts at local garden centres. To sign up, email info@saskatoonhortsociety.ca.
We look forward to meeting you on April 28!
-Robyn & Kaila, Bergamot & Basil Specialty Herbs
PS: We’ll also be selling our plants at the SHS Spring Plant and Water
Gardening Fundraiser on May 14!
