The Bitters and the Sweet
Written By: Mary Palmer Dargan | Issue: 2016/08 - August
As August rolls around, our 2016 Garden Talk Salon theme “Nature’s Kitchen” is in full gear!
Need to freshen up your garden? Edmund Taylor and Hugh Dargan will tag team on a number of “stump the experts” questions, ranging from ferns to healthy soils.
Wine-making is on the agenda since our favorite plants are putting on berries. Learn how to make nourishing and fun wines for home consumption.
Hungry for mushrooms? The Highlands/Cashiers plateau is one of the world’s best mushroom hunting grounds. Enjoy a workshop on how to identify them and which ones to look for in our local woods.
The Cashiers Showhouse will have a Dovecote Shop plus marvelous tours and workshops this year. Mary Palmer Dargan is doing a bitters workshop on Tuesday, August 23. For more information, please contact The Cashiers Historical Society for tickets to the show house that day.
Ila Hatter, our lady of the woods, is presenting a foraging workshop, Mother Nature’s Secret Garden, at the Village Green/Highland’s Cashiers Land Trust Wednesday Nature series at 5:30 P.M. August 30. A foraging feast will accompany this lecture and is sponsored by Dargan Landscape Architects. Please refer to the Village Green website for reservations.
Dovecote hosts these events with Dargan Landscape Architects. They are free unless otherwise noted. Start times at 10:00 A.M. on Fridays.
