You-Pick Medicinal Herb Garden
Weekly Update

REMEMBER:
You must contact LuAnn to set up a time for picking medicinal herbs and/or digging roots. I can make most any time work.
Ready to Gather in Garden
All finished for the 2020 growing season thanks to the October 20 snow that seems to be hanging on and on.
I am already dreaming and browsing catalogs from Strictly Medicinal Seeds and Richters. If you have suggestions for plants to be added to the garden in 2021, please let me know. I love the challenge of trying to grow and getting to know new plants.
Root Digging
The past 2 weeks have been filled with root digging and washing for several local herbalists and herbal learners. With the recent snow, I've canceled the Saturday, October 24 date. However, I still have several roots I will be digging for myself. If you would like to come and dig some roots after the snow melts, just let me know and I'll plan around times that work for you.
