Wednesday, November 18, 11am.
This class is a practical guide to growing and using some popular spice, food & herb plants that thrive in Puerto Vallarta. Here, fall is the best time to plant…
Plants covered will be :
- Lemon Grass

- Turmeric
- Black Pepper
- Chili Pepper

- Hoja Santa
- Sicilian Oregano
- Bay Laurel

The class is held in the hidden, 3rd story, roof-top, shade-covered garden of Theatrum Botanicum, above Mordidas Restaurant and Bar in Colonia Buenos Aires. Access involves 3 flights of stairs (I apologize to the physically challenged).
There is limited street parking and it is best to walk, take a taxi or a bus (the Paso Ancho bus stops directly in front of Mordidas).
The class will start at 11 am on Wednesday, November 18. Since Theatrum Botanicum is on the roof of a bar, beer & wine (at Happy Hour prices) will be available for purchase during the class.
The price of the class is $100 pesos (about $5 US) and is very limited in size. It is taught in English. To register, please complete the form below.
It is taught by Rick Hepting, the owner of Mordidas and the creator and past owner (from 1996 to 2006) of Theatrum Botanicum, a commercial rare plant nursery in Northern California. Theatrum Botanicum was sold in 2006 but it is now, again, being operated by Rick, here in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
More background information on the lore and use of these plants can be found at the Theatrum Botanicum web pages. Our plants are grown without commercial insecticides.
There will be an opportunity to purchase plants during the class. Purchases at this time are at a 25% discount.
