Thirteen TOWNies plus a guest (AmeliaG, AnnaE, BevB (Jacque’s guest), CarrieL, DebraS (new member), JacqueA, JudieT, LisaS, MargieS, MarieW, NancyL, NancyP, SandyS, and TinaT) met at the ABC Herb Garden. This non-profit is located at 6200 Manor Road. Their property is the former Case Mill Homestead.
Gardener Toby Bernal guided our tour and talked about: the benefits of fresh herbs; how to grow them; starting new plants; medicinal plant gardens; rainwater harvesting system; propagation; cooking with fresh herbs; and artificial pollination. And Toby answered our numerous questions! A well-educated, patient man.
After the tour concluded, 13 of us adjourned to Luby’s for lunch. We sat and ate and talked. Imagine that!
ABC will sponsor an herbal plant sale May 13, 2017. I will plan an outing for the sale.
The ABC Herb Gram website link is http://abc.herbalgram.org/site/PageServer. Self-guided tours are available Monday through Friday from 9AM to 6PM.
Thanks everyone for joining me!
