February Meeting Antique Gardens: American

Are you interested in hearing about antique gardens? Scott Kunst will be our February speaker. He is the owner of Old House Gardens, a nationally known catalouge company. In this catalogue you will find an assortment of heirloom bulbs, corms and tubers. He also has had many articles published in horticulture periodicals and has served as advisor for many historical reconstructions of well known American gardens. He will be participating in the 2010 Garden Symposium to be held in Williamsburg, VA in April. In our library you will find “Flowers and Herbs of Early America”, a book about the gardens of Williamsburg.
All our meetings are open to the public. We invite you to come to the conference center at the Toledo Botanical Garden to hear Scott Kunst speak on Wednesday, February 17. Our social hour begins at 9:15 am.

Heralding Success

We wish to thank everyone who helped to make Heralding the Holidays so successful for the Maumee Valley Herb Society. Thank you to those who made herbal vinegars, mustards, jams, jellies, soups, salsas, and baked goods. Also those who donated items to the Silent Auction. We made more money this year from the Silent Auction than in previous years. We also did very well with the herbal blends, teas, craft items, bath and body products, wreaths and dried arrangements, actually with everything we had to sell. Thank you to everyone who helped in any way, to those who helped get ready for heralding at our workshops, who worked during heralding, and all members who helped in any other way. We certainly appreciate all that you do for the Maumee Valley Herb Society and for the Toledo Botanical Garden. We also want to thank everyone who came to Heralding and purchased our products. Please mark the first weekend of December on your calendar for 2010. See you then.
