Like many other “ornamental” plants (nepetella\, prostrate rosemary\, and calendula\, for example)\, it has delicious culinary uses. Myrtle does require some irrigation\, but not substantial amounts of water. A Tucson Botanical Gardens horticulturist will be present to discuss growing Myrtle and harvesting the berries. \nIn this workshop\, food blogger David Scott Allen will use myrtle to make a variety of recipes\, notably Mirto\, a Sardinian liqueur that can be used for cocktails. We will share one of the simplest recipes with you. Other recipes include appetizers that use either myrtle leaves or berries to delight your guests. \n\nDavid Scott Allen is the creator\, writer\, and photographer at Cocoa & Lavender\, a weekly food blog that shares recipes and stories encouraging people to enjoy their time in the kitchen. David has also written a cookbook to benefit the Tucson Botanical Gardens (available in the gift shop)\, From Mrs. Porter’s Herb Garden. \n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming Classes\n\n\n\n\n \n\nClasses\, Art \n\n Canceled Whimsical Winter Animals in Ink \nDecember 4 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am \n \n \n\n\n \n\n2150 Club \n\n Ugly Sweater Holiday Mixer \nDecember 7 @ 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm \n \n \n\n\n \n\nClasses\, Art \n\n Silver Sparkles Butterfly Jewelry Set \nDecember 10 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm \n \n \n\n\n \n\nClasses\, Nature & Ecology \n\n Mistletoes and other Parasitic Plants \nDecember 13 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm URL:https://localyardandgarden.com/event/sunday-harvests-myrtle LOCATION:Education Building Classroom CATEGORIES:2150 Club ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://localyardandgarden.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_7445-uOPQin.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20241215T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20241215T120000 DTSTAMP:20241211T050616Z CREATED:20241120T040647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241211T050616Z UID:11493-1734256800-1734264000@localyardandgarden.com SUMMARY:Essential Oils for Your Travel Kit DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n$36 Non-Member / $29 Member \n\n\n\n\nMake traveling easier and more enjoyable with these travel kit recipes.  Learn about essential oils for immune support\, air disinfectants\, travel sickness and more.  Certified aromatherapist Kerry Cummins Blank will guide you through making your own product to take on your next trip. \nClass Capacity is 16 – Register Early! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstructor \nKerry Blank\n\n\nKerry is a holistic skincare therapist\, energy expert\, and sound healing practitioner with more than 30 years of experience.  She is passionate about helping people feel more beautiful in their skin\, better in their bodies\, and guiding them to tap into their inner wisdom.  As a certified aromatherapist\, she enjoys creating natural herbal-based formulas that are effective\, nourishing\, and eco-conscious.  Kerry is the owner of HiVibe Healing Arts in Tucson\, Arizona where she offers services\, workshops\, and sound baths.  Contact Kerry at (520) 448-1060 or kerry@hivibehealingarts.com. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefund & Cancellation Policy\nNo refund will be issued less than 15 days prior to any Community Class.
