The Montpelier Herb and Tea fest is TOMORROW! With any luck the rain will hold off until later in the afternoon, so come on by for all the festivities!

I'm gearing up for my talk on growing, harvesting, preparing, and using valerian root for therapeutic purposes - 1:15 in the Lecture Tent.

This morning I went out in my garden and separated my generous valerian plantings and potted 18 of them to give away!

I hope to see you there!
