WE learned about Herbs and how to use them in the kitchen, also sampled Basil Jelly and freezer pickles- we will get the recipes out to you soon!

And, we learned from sister Wanda Franklin about fruit and vegetable gardening, and saw photos of her successful garden!

It was a great evening and we are so grateful for all that was shared and all that we learned!

We had a seed and start swap- if you would like some basil plant starts contact Elizabeth Grange as she has extra to give out if anyone would like one!
