Medicinal herbs are not only helpful but often beautiful additions to your home garden. Led by Emily Gogol (Grow It From Home), and assisted by Penny Barthel (author, educator) or Lisa-Marie Maryott (Herb Society of America), this workshop will cover:

The session will introduce you to popular medicinal herbs like mint, lavender, and chamomile, as well as lesser-known ones such as Cannabis, St. John’s Wort, and Echinacea. Our experts will also answer your questions on growing and caring for these beneficial plants.
