Add spice and color to your life with fresh herbs and flowers.

A flower garden can add a splash of color to your home landscape, and fresh herbs can be a flavorful addition to homemade meals. Our modern homesteading series continues with a free program on cut flowers and herbs. Horticulture Educator Chris Leuking will lead the program as she covers:

• Cut flower production
• Growing herbs
• Bed preparation
• Fertilizer
• Weed management
• Herb and flower varieties
• Companion planting
• And more!

The program is free, but we ask that you register. Visit go.illinois.edu/HomesteadingFlowersHerbs or call (618) 687-1727 to reserve your spot.
