Native Culinary Herbs for the Home Garden | Speaker Series at the Botanical Gardens

Native plants support local wildlife while adding beauty to our gardens. However, native species are often absent from herb gardens and nursery herb departments. In this talk, Sarah Sorci of Sweet Flag Herbs will spotlight easy-to-grow native plants that add flavor and flair to our dishes. Growing tips, simple recipes, and samples will be shared.
