Remember “Scarborough Fair,” the old song rejuvenated by Simon & Garfunkel? They sang, “parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.” Well, add garlic, onion chives, oregano, mint, lavender and nasturtium (nasturtium flowers and leaves are edible and have a mustard flavor), and you have the bounty of the Residents Herb Garden in the Terrace planter with the dragonfly hovering over it and the black sign: "Herb Garden."
This planter — and only this planter — is open to all Kendal residents, thanks to the hard work of the Herb Garden Committee. You'll be surprised the health benefits and scent of these herbs. With the offer to snip as you please also comes the plea to please use plant shears or the scissors hanging in the planter to harvest herbs for your apartment.
Meanwhile, why not think about volunteering to water or to weed the herbs? A little take, a little corresponding give. It can be very therapeutic. Imagine the tender loving care you can give the herbs, and how you can release those pent up emotions on those weeds! To sign up, please contact Janet (x1857) or Maria (x1597)
