PGC's first General Meeting of the season featured a program by Marcy Lautanen-Raleigh from Backyard Patch on "Helping to Bring Herbs Into Your Life." We learned about several herbs, how to grow herbs from seeds and cuttings, and how to make special recipes with these herbs. A demonstration on how to make herb butter and salt was given and we even had a delicious taste test! Backyard Patch herb products can be purchased through www.backyardpatch.com.
Also, thank you to New Covenant Bible Church for allowing us to use your beautiful space for the meeting and program.
