Tuesday Talks in the Hexagon with Denise DeSpirito – Early Season herb garden tour and seedling planting demo

Come to Merryspring Nature Center for a talk by Head Gardener Denise DeSpirito. Denise will discuss care of herb gardens in spring and demonstrate planting seedlings.

Please join us for an early season herb garden tour to see what is growing. A great way to learn plants is to see them in each phase of their  growth. This early season herb garden walk will help ID some medicinals that are popping up in the herb garden that folks often confuse when first growing, like comfrey and foxglove, which can be a deadly mistake if not properly identified. We also will talk about planting herb seedlings and have a short demonstration. This talk takes place entirely in the herb garden and participants are welcome to bring questions about their own gardens. Denise will discuss care of herb gardens in spring and demonstrate planting seedlings.

In-person Tuesday Talks are free for members and $10 for non-members (cash and check). Thanks to our sponsors Reny’s a Maine Adventure and Riverhouse Hotel & Inns.
