Join URI Master Gardener Alan Newton for a presentation on growing and using native and non-native herbs on Monday, May 18 at 7 p.m.
Learn about civilization’s long history with herbs, including the use of native herbs in pre-colonial New England. Find out how to grow and care for herbs. Explore a wide variety of ways to use them in cooking and medicine, and discover local plants that are often considered weeds but are, in fact, herbs.
