Event Description

Immerse yourself in the scents of the season while learning how California’s Mediterranean climate makes it ideal for growing aromatic herbs and spices at home. Master Gardener Kylie Gilliam will begin with a short lecture on the history, cultivation and uses of herbs such as rosemary, bay and peppermint before guiding you through the creation of your own holiday simmer jar. Choose from a variety of ingredients such as dried citrus slices, apples, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and star anise or follow one of Gilliam’s suggested blends. Each participant will assemble and decorate a Mason jar, complete with a simmering instruction tag and ribbon, ready to enjoy at home or give as a unique handmade holiday gift.

When: Saturday, Dec. 20, 9:30 a.m. – noon; RSVP online by Dec. 15.
Where: OC Fair & Event Center – Centennial Farm Silo Building
How much: $40 fee covers all materials, including a Mason jar, a Centennial Farm’s garden to include in their blend. Parking is free.
