The Melksham Gardeners’ Society had a talk from the well-known Christina Stapley BSc on ‘Herbs to Grow for the Kitchen’.
The society reports, “Ms. Stapley is the author of numerous books relating to herbs and their use (plus a few others), a member of the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy, a teacher and is a veritable fount of knowledge with regards to herbs. She kept the audience glued to her presentation explaining how to use herbs in cooking, easy remedies and how to grow in the garden. We picked up numerous tips along with historical facts as well. This must be one our most popular talks to date as the hall was full. A big thank you to Christina for such a fascinating talk and several members picked up some cuttings as well.
