Event Description
Mints, bay laurel, garlic, basil – discover the global importance of these and other herbs through a culinary and historical lens.
Learn how they shaped the world, and our palate, and which plants can be easily grown in your garden. Herbs, like spices, were highly valued, traded as currency, and drove advances in trade, exploration, medicine, while also leading to strife and sometimes war. Learn how herbs impart key flavours and also give us specific protective, nutritional and/or medicinal benefits.
