Essential Culinary Herbs and Knot Gardens

February 13, 2019 By Kelly Orzel

Want to know the secret to a garden bursting with flavor? Loam wasn’t built in a day, and neither is your herb garden. I pack a ton into this class. Heck, I’ll talk about everything from design to plant spotlights. Companion planting with herbs, oh yeah! Interested in themed gardens? Container gardens? Trust me, I’ve got some sage advice for you. I’ll share my secrets on growing the top 12 culinary headliners, as well as a few additional (okay, 11) of the lesser known—but totally incredible—favorites I grow on my little herb farm.

About Kelly Orzel

I’m a small-scale, organic herb farmer, author and speaker growing in coastal Maine. You can find me in the greenhouse, looking slightly rumpled. Besides dirt, I’m obsessed with bread and cheese, over-sized sweaters and Jane Austen novels.

At heart I’m a teacher (I taught high school math for 6 years), so get ready to sow and grow like a pro! Want to become a master seed-starter and propagator? I’m your girl. Do you have a love affair with show-stopping dahlias and ready to take your flower patch to the next level? I can teach you how. Or are you ready to become a vegetable garden boss and grow a pantry-full of food? Well, then you’re in the right place!

Since 2012, I’ve spoken at over 300 events all over New England to home garden enthusiasts like you. And, as a self-confessed garden geek and bibliophile, I can’t wait to share with you everything I’ve experienced and learned.

When I’m not digging in soil, I’m wholeheartedly excited about teaching others how to grow the garden of their dreams. Over the past 20 years I’ve worked as a horticulturist on a 70-acre farm, dabbled in plant biotechnology, earned my masters in Horticulture, volunteer as a Maine Master Gardener and owned my own herb farm. And I really want to share everything I know with you!
