We will talk about heirloom varieties, their culture, and how to plant and harvest herbs and vegetables for the rest of the season. Admission is $35, and reservations are required. The event will take place at the Lyman Estate Greenhouses in Waltham, Massachusetts, and is run by Historic New England. For further information, contact Susanna Crampton, 185 Lyman Street, Waltham, MA 02452, 781-891-4882, scrampton@historicnewengland.org. You can get directions to the Lyman Estate on Historic New England’s website, www.HistoricNewEngland.org.
