Garden Talk #1 Spring 2025: All About Herbs and How to Use Them
May 8 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Buttonwood Nature Center announces the 2025 spring series of small-group garden talks. Talks will be held on four Thursdays in May from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Civil War era garden adjacent to Monterey Pass Battlefield Museum.
#1: All About Herbs and How to Use Them
The first of a series of four spring Garden Talks is presented by Penn State master gardener volunteer, Annette Spry.
Learn about the wide variety of herbs you can grow successfully, including both perennial and annual herbs. We will talk about the needs and growing habits of each plant.
Culinary herbs are easily used fresh or dried to enhance your meals. The talk will cover simple harvesting methods as well as how to dry and preserve fresh herbs for use at later time. Free, but space is limited and registration is required.
The Monterey Pass Battlefield Museum will be open especially for attendees of this event.
Annette Spry retired in 2013 after more than 37 years with the Department of Defense. She now enjoys her time as a full-time gardener. She has been a master gardener volunteer since 2008. Spry is a co-lead in the Herb Demonstration Garden on Franklin Farm Lane in Chambersburg, Pa. She also leads various workshops for herbs, container gardening and wreath making.
Participants should wear shoes appropriate for being inside the garden. Seating is not provided, but feel free to bring a chair.
