UT-TSU Extension Hardeman County hosted an Herb Workshop for the community on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, and they were excited to have an excellent turnout!

Participants learned valuable information about growing herbs, proper storage techniques, and ways to use herbs in everyday cooking. They also discussed the importance of food safety when harvesting and preparing fresh herbs from the garden.

Each participant received an herb plant, container, seeds, strainer, water bottle, gardening tool, and refrigerator thermometer to help them continue their herb-growing journey at home.

“It’s always rewarding to see so many people interested in growing their own food and learning safe, practical ways to use fresh herbs in the kitchen. Thank you to everyone who attended and made today’s workshop a success,” said Rachel Howell, TSU Horticulture Extension Agent III.
