Join Sarah Sorci of Sweet Flag Herbs to learn about native plants that are easy to grow and add flair to our meals.
Native plants are gaining popularity with gardeners for their beauty, support of wildlife, and adaptation to the local environment. However, native species are often absent from herb gardens and nursery herb departments. In this class, Sarah will spotlight native plants that enhance our gardens and our cooking: rose mallow, nodding onion, pepperweed, and more. We’ll discuss their preferred growing conditions, where to purchase plants and seeds, and how to use these plants in the kitchen.
