The Herb Society of America’s New England Unit will present its Northeast District Gathering on Thursday, July 31 (9 – 5) and Friday, August 1 (9 – 4) at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, 11 French Drive in Boylston, Massachusetts. This year’s 5th Annual Herb Show is entitled Herbs of Magic and Mystery. Free with admission to Tower Hill.
Build a house and little garden that just might entice the fairies to come and play. Begin by planting ferns and ivy to give the little people a bit of privacy. Then, using bark, leaves, twigs and other natural materials, create a charming little home that any fairy would be pleased to move into. Once the house is built the landscaping can begin: lay out paths, design a garden or install a small pond. The construction site is a basket that is easily carried home. All materials included. Betsy Williams will teach this Tower Hill Botanic Garden workshop on Sunday, August 3, from 12:30 – 2:30 pm, and the cost is $60 for THBG members, $75 for nonmembers. Register on line at www.towerhillbg.org.
