Gardening with Herbs
Home and Garden Show 2020 Presentation
The following information is being presented to you as a virtual Home and Garden Show by the Lea County Extension Service. The Lea County Master Gardeners and the Lea County Family and Consumer Science Agent have put together several informative programs along with videos for you to enjoy!
This information on Gardening with Herbs is presented by Lea County Master Gardener, Barbara Dunford. Throughout the video, Barbara shows you the common herbs found in many household gardens. These herbs include Rosemary, Mint, Thyme and Basil.
Barbara suggests this handout from the Home Depot Garden Club. Here is the website to some of their suggestions for your new Herb Garden.
