Make Lemongrass Tea Rings
Join us Thursday, August 25 from 1pm to 2pm to learn how to make tea rings from lemongrass growing in the container gardens onsite at the Rizzardo Health & Wellness Centre.
Participants will learn how to harvest lemongrass and create these simple rings that can be used to make a delicious tea by simply placing one at the bottom of a cup and pouring hot water over it, or it can be steeped in a broth to add a wonderful lemony flavour to soup or rice. Once dried, the rings will be made available in the Troy Scott Community Fridges’ pantries.
The Innisfil Seed Library is excited to partner with the Town of Innisfil and the Rizzardo Health & Wellness Centre for a free weekly vegetable and herb gardening program throughout the summer.
This hands-on program will evolve each week as the plants grow and mature. You may register for one session or the whole series!
You can expect to learn:
What plants that are best suited for container gardening
How to maintain a healthy container garden
Companion planting and incorporating flowers into your vegetable/herb garden to attract pollinators
How to harvest veggies and herbs for continuous harvest throughout the season
Succession planting
How to save seeds later in the season
Not only is this an opportunity to learn about growing food but it's also a great way to help increase food security in our community as fresh produce will be donated to the Troy Scott Community Fridges.
