In their beautifully photographed guide to growing, harvesting, and utilizing 47 unexpected plants, Stefani Bittner and Alethea Harampolis encourage gardeners to discover the surprising usefulness of petals and leaves, roots, seeds, and fruit. Stefani will present a powerpoint and demonstration of some of the great ideas in her book. Turn turmeric root into a natural dye and calamintha into lip balm. Make anise hyssop into a refreshing iced tea and turn apricots into a facial mask. Crabapple branches can be used to create stunning floral arrangements, oregano flowers to infuse vinegar, and edible chrysanthemum to liven up a salad. With the remarkable, multi-purpose plants inĀ Harvest, there is always something for gardeners to harvest from one growing season to the next.
