About The In-Person Workshop
Discover how fresh herbs can elevate both flavor and well-being in "Nourishing the Neighborhood: Herbs for Health and Happiness." Penn State Extension Master Gardeners will share practical tips for growing and using herbs, and participants will receive take-home plants to get started. An extension health and wellness educator will provide a tasting of fresh vegetables paired with a flavorful herb dip while demonstrating how herbs like dill, mint, and basil can enhance meals without added salt. Learn simple, delicious ways to reduce sodium, boost nutrition, and support heart health while making everyday dishes more vibrant and enjoyable.
