Growing and Using Herbs from your Yard or Garden 🌿
A SHAEC Sustainability Series Friday evenings in June 2025
Call 354-1055 or email southernhilltownsaec@gmail.com to reserve your place.

Growing Herbs: Medicinal, Culinary and Ornamental.
Friday June 6th, 5:00pm at the SHAEC Classroom 26 Main Street, Chester
Learn from Master Gardener Ed Sourdiffe, the Green Thumb Guru, head of the Historic Gardens at Hancock Shaker Village and Mass Appeal plant and garden expert. Ed will share simple growing techniques for growing your own vibrant, robust herbs. We will feature a variety of wild and cultivated herbs, with some plants available to purchase at the class to get you started on your own herb garden. If you aren’t growing these herbs, you should. We’re here to teach you how. Donations graciously accepted. Please preregister.

Introduction to Using Herbs from Your Backyard:
Friday, June 13th, 5:00pm at the SHAEC Classroom 26 Main Street, Chester
Taught by Aromatherapist and self-taught herbalist Kay Judge from Middlefield, MA. She will teach you how to identify what you have growing in your gardens and edges of your yard. Are they weeds or helpful herbs? If the weather permits, we will do a quick herb walk to see what we can find. Pre-registration is required. Handouts of herb profiles will be provided. A small donation will be gladly received.

Making Salve:

Taught by Aromatherapist and self-taught herbalist Kay Judge from Middlefield, MA. In this class we will talk about the process of creating a salve. A salve is basically an infused oil that is combined with a wax such as beeswax to create a creamy substance that is applied to the skin. Kay will share ideas for different applications and herbs that would be helpful. We will work through the process of making a salve and participants will take home a jar of salve and a recipe to follow to make their own. Class is limited, so Pre-registration is required.
