Subject: Herbs from Around the World

Well-Sweep Herb Farm in Port Murray, New Jersey, is home to one of the largest collections of potted herbs in the world, along with a collection of their unique cultural stories and uses.  Patrick McDuffee, the third generation of the Well-Sweep family, will share with us the scents and flavors from East Asia, the Mediterranean, South America, and beyond.  He will tell us how to successfully grow these plants on a windowsill, on a patio or in a garden.  Tips and tricks from growing to harvesting, some culinary and medicinal tidbits, as well as herbal lore will also be shared.
