Rockport, Maine - Gardener Denise DeSpirito will lead a presentation on growing Chinese medicinal herbs in Maine at Merryspring Nature Center on Tuesday, August 6 at 12:00 pm.
Many common garden plants have roots in traditional Chinese herbal medicine. In this program, Denise will discuss a variety of plants that can be grown at home, including Astaralgus, ginseng, mugwort, and ginkgo, as well as easily-foraged plants such as Forsythia. In addition to growing methods, Denise will talk about harvesting techniques and uses for these plants.
This is an outdoor program. Guests should wear weather appropriate clothing.
