Add spice and color to your life with fresh herbs and flowers.
No homestead or small farm is complete without a flower and herb patch. They are a great additions to our in-town gardens well, in beds and landscapes. Herbs and flowers can offer many benefits to us as food, aesthetics, or as an added value item to your farm stand. Our modern homesteading series continues with a free program on flowers and herbs. Horticulture Educator Chris Leuking will lead the program as she covers:
- Growing flowers and herbs
- Bed preparation
- Fertilizer
- Weed management
- Herb and flower varieties
The program is free, but we ask that you register. Visit go.illinois.edu/HomesteadingFlowersHerbs or call (618) 687-1727 to reserve your spot.
