Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend an all-day workshop on herbs. It was held at Burritt on the Mountain, a "living" museum on the 167 acre estate housing a 1930's eclectic mansion. The grounds also feature many reconstructed historic structures depicti
ng life in the 1800's.
We covered herb uses (both historical and modern day) in culinary, medicinal, and landscaping applications; propagation by cuttings, layering, and seed; and preservation methods such as drying, freezing, cooking, etc. After the lectures, we had a fun time making scented sachets and Victorian tussie mussies with many of the herbs we had discussed.
As a bonus, we also got to enjoy the view over Huntsville from Round Top Mountain on a pleasant walk after lunch.
