After a break for lunch, Nancy Clough, a master gardener and member of The Niles Garden Club, spoke on “Growing Herbs and Vegetables as Companions.” For the last speaker, Janine Frizzo-Horrigan spoke on “The Growing & Uses of Herbs” followed by tasting of herbal teas. A large crowd was on hand as everyone is ready for spring planting.
