“There is so much interest in growing herbs, but a lack of speakers in our area.  We felt the need to share what we have learned” says Michele Worden, President of the Master Gardener Association of Northwest Michigan.

Meetings are held monthly on the first Tuesday of the month and are open to the public. A $5 donation from non-members is appreciated.
