Garden Talk #3 Spring 2025: Cooking with Herbs—What’s the Buzz?
May 22 @ 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.
#3: Cooking with Herbs—What’s the Buzz?
The third of a series of four spring Garden Talks.
Free program presented by Penn State master gardener volunteer, Annette Spry. This talk will focus on how to use a variety of herbs when cooking to enhance food flavors. Discover the uses of dried herbs vs. fresh herbs, and when each is preferred. Learn about how to prevent your herbs from “bolting.”
Finally, we will talk about how herbs support pollinators like bees and other beneficial insects in the garden.
Participants should wear shoes appropriate for being inside the garden. Seating is not provided, but feel free to bring a chair.
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.
