Herbs in the Garden

Join Amador County Master Gardeners on May 12th from 9am to noon for a free class on all things Herbs. You'll learn about kitchen herb gardens such as where to locate your garden, soil and amendment requirements, which herbs to include, and how to care for them. Next find out which of a wide-array of ornamental herbs will make great additions to your landscape because of drought tolerance and attraction of bees. And lastly, learn about special herbs for Asian, French, Italian, and Mexican gardens that will enhance your cooking adventures. Taste herb butters and find out how to dry herbs to preserve their flavors.

This class will be held at the county GSA Building, 12200-B Airport Road in Jackson. For further information contact the Master Gardeners at 223-6838 from 10am to noon, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays or email mgamador@ucdavis.edu.
