Girl Scouts of Maine: Harvesting Herbs with Shaker Village
October 5 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Saturday, October 5, 2024
9am-12pm
On-Site
Join us for some hands-on learning at the historic Shaker Herb Garden. You’ll harvest the season’s bounty of herbs from the garden then process the herbs to be put up in the drying attic just like the Shakers have been doing since 1783! You’ll tour the gardens, learn about medicinal and culinary uses of herbs, and prepare the herbs for drying. Put your new herbal skills to use by blending your own herbal cooking blend to take home. We’ll also visit with the farm animals to end the day! Please wear clothes and shoes that can get garden-dirty.
Rain or Shine
