Join the Shirley Eustis House Association online on March 19 at 10 am to explore the herbal pharmacy in early American gardens with Master Gardener Mary Lou O’Connor. Mary Lou will highlight the growing selection of medicinal plants in the historic gardens at Shirley Place and how they were used to promote wellness and treat illnesses and injuries in early New England. She’ll also discuss how Native American knowledge and African traditions combined with European herbal know-how to make for a particularly American herbal medicine cabinet or pharmacopeia. Co-sponsored by the Roxbury Historical Society. Questions: contact Suzy Buchanan at director@shirleyeustishouse.org. Donations encouraged. Register with Eventbrite HERE
