It's time to dig roots!
Updated October 13, 2025
To ensure we make the most of the plants' roots, we gather as a group to harvest the small quantities needed for herbal remedies, as this process can sometimes require taking the life of the plant.
I will be at the garden on following dates:
-
Sunday, October 19, from1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
-
Thursday, October 23, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
-
Monday, October 27, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Maura may include additional dates if necessary.
Just let us know when you plan to drop by. If no one's coming, we won't be around either! If those times don't work for you, shoot us some other times do, and we'll do our best to make it work.
