No homestead or small farm is complete without a flower and herb patch. 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 cut flowers and herbs
Bed preparation
Fertilizer
Weed management
Herb and flower varieties
