Pioneer's Park Nature Center is another one of Lincoln's hidden gems. I visited there this weekend, and was amazed. The herb garden is magnificent.
I'm looking forward to being a part of the 2010 Herbal Festival. This all-day event is held every three years and features workshops on growing and using herbs, as well as an herbal lunch and a tour of the amazing herb garden at the Nature Center. I'll be talking about using dill (which is the "Herb of the Year"), and I've got some great recipes and ideas for you. Other topics include Herbal Eats of the Middle East, Lovely Lavender, Creating a Container Herb Garden and Flavor, Medicine or Both?
It's happening on July 24, and registration is filling up. Click here for more information and registration form.
The Pioneer's Park Herb Garden began in 1972 in memory of Louisa Evans Dool, editor of Nebraska Farmer and author of two books on herbs. Since that time the garden has grown from 16 herbs to 175 varieties
