Where: CrossWinds Church, 1660 Freisman Rd, Livermore
Farm Theater in the red buildings next to the parking lot.

Tabbitha Cawelti from Alden Lane will present Herb Gardening in the Winter. As our gardening chores diminish due to rains and cooler temps, many of us gardeners feel the need to get our hands in the dirt. Winter gardening with herbs and other yummy winter veggies fills the need to grow something edible. Herb gardening can be enjoyed in a kitchen window, a container on the deck, or out in a garden bed. What would be better than fresh herbs and vegetables for our winter stews, salads and more? Come join Tabbitha to learn how to add herbs and winter vegetables to your gardens to add magic to any savory dish you are cooking.

Along with our interesting program, the December meeting will be an opportunity to get to know your fellow members better and enjoy a wonderful potluck dinner. The Club will provide eating utensils, paper products and table decorations. Members will provide the dishes for the potluck. Please bring a dish to share from the categories below, according to the first letter of your last name. Store bought is just fine if you prefer not to cook or bake. If your dish requires serving utensils, please bring them with your dish.
