Dear Folks,
I'm back after helping a relative with health issues (doing much better).
The annual Herb Festival at the BTA has now been moved from Spring to Fall - a better planting time for many herbs here in the desert southwest.
Now scheduled for the ending day of the Fall Plant Sale - you can pick up some plants and sample some of my herb-focused dips, and check out the music and other vendors.
Arboretum Herb Festival and Live Music
October 26
"Herb is the word" during the final week of October's annual Fall Plant
Sale fundraiser and Lynnea and Preston are special-ordering a variety
of herbs to add to the dozens that they have grown themselves. Our
annual Herb Festival has moved to the Fall and strategically scheduled
for late October to take advantage of optimal herb planting time. Bring a
picnic and join us Sunday for music and the chance to meet members of
the Arizona Herb Association and browse items at their booth. Enjoy live
music by The Levno Duo from Chandler (Celinda and John Levno, on flute
and guitar) and sample savory tastings of herb-infused dips from
Catherine 'The Herb Lady' Crowley, all in the environs of our Wing
Memorial Herb Garden.
