One workshop per year is currently offered. Here is the invitation for the current calendar year. We would like to invite you to come learn about herbs at our
Annual Workshop: Saturday May 16, 2009
(If it rains hard, we will cancel.)
We have been cultivating herbs for over 20 years. Many people coming to Twin Oaks wanted to know more about herbs, herbal treatments, and remedies. So, in 1989, we began offering herb workshops and selling plants from our favorite stock. These workshops have been well recieved and well attended.
