Sedgwick County Extension Herb Day and Plant Sale
I love WOTC. It’s a great resource.
Aww. And I love Bonnie!
Don’t these gardening workshops look great again this year?
Ooh, the Herb Day workshops are also very interesting. Let me see if I can find the link for that one. It mentions something about a Tea Garden. I’ve never even thought of doing that, but it sounds very aromatic!
Here’s the link to Herb Day info. It’s on May 4: https://wichitaonthecheap.com/free-herb-day-plant-sale-sedgwick-county-extension/
