URBAN HARVEST EDUCATION CENTER
JUSTIN DUNCAN
COMPLIMENTARY

Join us as we explore the healing powers of herbs. For this exciting class, we will explore scientific research as it demonstrates how plants affect our health. Historically, humans consumed more vegetables and herbs, however, in modern times this is no longer the case. This change has a drastic effect on our health and diets. We'll learn about specialty and common herbs that are readily available and how to use and prepare them.
