Come out to the garden this Wednesday night to learn about Elecampane (Inula helenium) and enjoy the serenity and beauty of the garden. Elecampane is an expectorant helpful for respiratory issues among other attributes. There is available for harvest: lemon balm, mint, hyssop, yarrow, anise hyssop, and white sagebrush for making smudge sticks. You can dig up divisions of these plants too.
Wednesday, August 5 6:00 to 8:30 pm
Come even if you can’t make it right at 6:00. We have been breaking around 7:00 or 7:30 to learn about our herb of the day.
There will be light weeding so please bring water, bug spray, and a favored tool. There are tools available as well. No prior gardening experience needed. We look forward to visiting with you!
