For Herb Lovers

For Herb Lovers

Hopkins Green was the new venue for the annual Valley of Virginia Herb Guild’s herb sale Saturday. This was the best sale the Guild has had since 2018 with 145 sales. The weather cooperated for once (the last two years were cold and rainy) and there was nothing left on the tables at the sale’s end at noon. Jane Horton won the raffled container of herbs. New this year was a flea market table of garden items and horticultural books. (Claudia Schwab photos) 05/10/2023 12:00 AM

Honored By Garden Club

The Natural Bridge Garden Club recently presented a certificate from the National Penny Pines Program to Stephanie Louquet (left) in honor of The Herbery for her contributions to the club’s herb garden located in front of the RARA building in Lexington. The garden’s herbs are for The Community Table. With her is garden club member and Community Table volunteer Irene Condie. The club participates in the National Penny Pines Program established by the National Garden Clubs and the USDA Forest Service. Two hundred trees are replaced in damaged areas around the country by the donations of the club’s members. These indigenous trees provide soil, watershed protection, future harvestable timber, as well as beauty and shade for recreation. 05/10/2023 12:00 AM
