Have your taste buds tantalised and green fingers inspired as we explore the wide range of tastes and textures found in green leaves. Herbs express their unique uses in their distinct taste – some bitter, some sweet, some pungent and some peppery.

We’ll kick off the workshop in the garden with guidance from our Healing Garden expert Gundula Deutschländer. After some gathering of herbs from the garden, we’ll be chopping and pounding the leaves in the kitchen to incorporate these aromas in the meal we will be preparing for our lunch, as well as to add to your pantry at home.

Bring along a hat and an apron for a fun day at Babylonstoren to learn about the what, when and why of cooking with herbs from the garden.

Steaming coffee from the Farm Shop is served upon arrival. Lunch at the Byzantium is included.
