Herb Week

David Austin Rose in Courtyard

Did you know that the rose is an herb? Organic roses are used in many different ways. 

Here are just a few:

• Rose flavored water
• Medicinal purposes, clearing bronchial tubes & toxins from the body
• Used for centuries in Middle Eastern & Indian dishes
• Pastry chefs use roses for sweets & cakes

It's advisable to use roses that are pesticide free.

We'll be using sweet roses in our Herb Wreath Workshop next week. There are still a few spots for Monday, May 2nd from 10am to noon...

Email me at mlchgarden@comcast.net for details. 

See you

Surprise!

Last year, I had a ridiculously delightful trip to Dallas, TX for my first Garden Writers Symposium. Vendors brought thier products for garden writers to experiment with and report on...

I challenged the rep from David Austin roses in Austin TX to recommend a couple of those wondrous "cabbage roses" that could survive the Georgia heat and humidity. Well, not only did he circle the names in the catalogue, but sent me 2 plants to try! YEAH!

What a treat. No electricity for 2 days and I get an awesome box of roses. I am prepared to report. You decide.
