Though the growing season is ending, now is a great time of year to harvest herbs from the garden, according to Merryspring, in a news release. In this outdoor walk, DeSpirito will lead the group around the herb garden to see what’s blooming, check out recent additions, and speak about how to harvest different plants and their seeds.
