Join us on July 15 – 2pm Fridays in the Herb Garden: there’s more to an herb than its name. Saratoga County History Center invites you to join Kathleen Royka, Master Gardener, and Thymly Herb’s lead gardener at the museum’s Colonial Herb Garden. This week’s theme “Weeds, or are they? Meet three of New York’s top 10—dandelion, purslane, and broad- leafed plantain. Hear their stories. You decide.”

Each Friday (July 15, July 29, and August 12) will have a different and unusual theme. Questions and discussions about any aspect of gardening, historic or otherwise, will be welcome. The programs are free, though donations are always appreciated. Children are welcome, and there will be 18th-century toys and games and other activities for them to explore.
