Your kitchen windowsill has been waiting for this.

Cooking with Herbs is a hands-on class built around one simple idea: the best flavors start before you ever turn on the stove. You will plant your own four-herb kitchen garden, learn what each herb does in the kitchen, and leave with recipes to put them to work the same week. And, the planter will look terrific on your kitchen table or on an outside ledge!

This is a fundraiser for Community Care Clinic of Franklin, a free and charitable healthcare clinic serving our community. The $25 class covers the cost of the herbs, soil, planter, etc; every dollar above $25 goes directly to supporting their work.

What You’ll Do:

Meet Your Herbs: Learn the personality of each plant, what it pairs well with, and how to harvest it without slowing it down
Plant Your Garden: Get your hands in the soil and build your own kitchen herb planter, ready for a sunny windowsill or a spot on the porch
Cook with Confidence: Walk through recipes that actually use what you are growing, so the planter goes home with a purpose
Give While You Grow: The set price is $25, and anything above that goes 100% to Community Care Clinic of Franklin
You will leave with a living four-herb planter, a set of recipes built around what you planted, and a reason to look forward to cooking dinner this week.

This one is a good fit for home cooks, beginner gardeners, and anyone who has ever bought a bunch of fresh herbs, used one sprig, and watched the rest go to waste.

About Community Care Clinic of Franklin: CCCF provides free, charitable healthcare to uninsured and underinsured residents of Macon County and the surrounding region. This event is one small way the Winding Stair Gardens community can show up for the people who show up for our neighbors every day.

There will be the opportunity to directly donate a custom amount to CCCF at the event.
