Information session on encouraging the cultivation of aromatic herbs
In the heart of the forest that was born out of the Serra de Monsanto afforestation project in the last century, cypress trees, cork oaks, holm oaks and various aromatic plants grow.
In this session, part of the implementation of Project 59 of the 2021 Participatory Budget, we'll explore the history of aromatic plants, learn simple techniques for growing them in small spaces and discover ways to care for and preserve them.
These plants can transform any meal and perfume your home! At the end, each participant will receive a planting kit to start their own mini-garden at home straight away.
