From planning to planting, ‘The Herb Lady' will teach you about our ‘flip-flop' planting times, give you the scoop on soil, and why "location, location, location" is as important in growing herbs as in buying real estate. You will also learn about one of most important tools for desert gardening, bugs both good and bad, and more.

Session 2: Herbs - Anise to Zahtar - Discover the incredible variety of herbs that can be grown right here in our desert. While some are used to beautify, others are aromatic and flavorful, and many are "multi-taskers", fulfilling many roles. Learn about gardening with themes, plants that play well with others and some that do not (companion planting). This session includes an interpretive guided tour of the garden. (bring your sunhats).
