**THIS WORKSHOP REQUIRES KIT PICK-UP**

Join us for the virtual version of our popular herb gardening and mixology class!  Learn how to grow and take care of herbs at home, even if you only have indoor space.   We’ve assembled a custom kit with seedlings, gardening necessities and cocktail ingredients for pickup at the World of Whirlpool to accompany this virtual experience (see FAQs below for equipment you’ll need that won’t be included in the kit).

Local gardening expert, Emily Cross, will lead everyone in planting their own small herb pot that can thrive in a kitchen or on a balcony.  Our chef will show you how to turn those herbs into a festive summer mocktail or cocktail–we’ll provide everything but the alcohol!  We’ll also be joined by a World of Whirlpool laundry expert who will share a few tips on getting dirty garden messes out of your clothes, shoes and gardening tools.

IMPORTANT: We cannot ship or deliver kits. Kits must be picked up at the World of Whirlpool on Tuesday, September 15th between 4pm – 6pm CT.  Call us at (312) 840-8050 when you arrive and we can bring your kit to your car curbside at 331 N LaSalle Dr., Chicago, IL 60654.  The live workshop is on Wednesday, September 16th, from 4:30pm – 5:30pm CT via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom dial-in instructions sent to the email used for registration 2 days before the virtual workshop.
