Who can garden
without herbs? They flavor our foods, draw pollinators, repel pests,
provide scent, and mix merrily in both ornamental and edible beds. Summit
County Master Gardener Nancy Quinn-Simon will take us back in history
for a look at some of the herbs used in Shakespeare’s day: their
history, how to incorporate them into your garden design, how to care for
and use them. There are reasons these herbs were popular in the Elizabethan
era – learn why and how to feature them in your own garden beds.
In 1981 elementary
school teachers Nancy Quinn and Ed Simon decided to transition some of the
strawberry and corn fields on their farm into herb gardens. They opened a
greenhouse to sell herbs, host workshops and teach classes (in their spare
time!) and there began Nancy’s lifelong love affair with herbs. Nancy
authored the Herbal Weaving Handbook and has enjoyed learning and
sharing her knowledge through her memberships with the Herb Society of
America, International Herb Association, Garden Club of Ohio, Heritage Herb
Society, and the Canton Garden Center. She is currently the Herb Chairman
of the Garden Club of Ohio.
