Herbfest 2009

Herb Fest
Sat. October 10th, 2009, 10am-4pm
Herb fest is cornucopia of information, seeds, and plants.

In the course of the day, underneath the old walnut tree that survived the fire, there’s going to be an abundance of free workshops on all things to do with herbs:

11am -- Growing and Using Herbs -- herbs 101, taught by Kathleen
noon -- Companion Planting -- of herbs and vegetables, who likes who and what likes what, taught by Dawn
1pm -- Soils and Amending Your Soils, taught by Robert
2pm -- Medicinal Herb Preparation -- using herbs you grow, taught by Olympia
3pm -- Regional Herbs -- of the Southwest & Mediterranean Climates, taught by Martha
It should be a really great time and a lot of knowledge shared. Come out for one or a couple or all of the workshops if you can. There’s going to be a lot of great information.

The Garden already also has a lot of herbs in pots to choose from and will have a shipment of seeds in too for fall and winter planting, etc., but also the Italian seed company Franchi is going to have a booth of seeds, as well.

We are also making good progress on repair of the grounds. Nothing will fully replace what the grounds once were, but we’re growing new life in the midst.

We hope you’ll come out to Herb Fest and support our local business (instead of Home Depot of course), expand your own home gardens, and expand your knowledge of herbs, how to grow them, and how to use them too!

If you would like to participate through either having a booth, helping out, or in some other way at this event please call 909.620.0199 for information and let us know.
