Monday September 12th 6:00:-7:30pm: Its a PLANT GIVEAWAY! We have so many extra plants in the herb garden this year it has turned into part jungle. Bring your gloves, shovels, buckets and pots and take some plants home with you. There will also be plants that can be harvested instead of dug up, like several varieties of mints, lemon balm and mugwort and maybe even some stray rose hips and aronia berries to harvest. My grapes will be ready then and I can share some out too. Here are the plants we know we have a lot to give away, its not all inclusive, there are more: rosa rugosa (very large rose hips), anise hyssop, chamomile – a variety used for dye (spectacular plant!), globe thistle (decorative, for the humming birds), lemon balm, peppermint, chocolate mint, mugwort (3 varieties, use for smudging and for sleep), bee balm (monarda), yarrow and more. If you don’t need plants, please come for the herbal community, help others fill their pots if you are able or just relax and chat. As usual we will have some herbal tea to share, and Ginny mentioned she will bring homemade raspberry ice cream. Bring your garden bounty to share too. We welcome monetary donations for the plants – donations will be used to purchase more plant varieties for the herb garden. If you can’t come but would like to donate, please make check out to MAPG and send to the address below. Please join us!
