Herbs

On Wednesday, June 25, 2014, we attended the Garden Walk at Boerner Botanic Gardens.

The topic was Herb Garden Walk (what smells so good?).

The guide was Milwaukee County Horticulturist Peggy Gibbs-Zautke, who is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about herbs.

As per the title, we toured the herb garden, and the emphasis was on herbs with fragrance.

We saw (and smelled) many fine examples, including some of my favorites such as Valerian, Lemon Balm, Lemon Verbena, Pineapple Sage, various mints, and scented geraniums (pelargoniums).

It was fun and educational, well worth attending.

Counts as 1.0 hour MGV continuing education credit.
