With Henry Flowers, Horticulturist and HSA Lifetime Member

Herb enthusiasts know that there is more to herbs than the herbaceous plants parsley, dill, and basil.  Many herbs, even our beloved sage, rosemary, and thyme, can become woody plants in time.  Do you know that there are many woody trees, shrubs, and vines around the world and in our own back yards that are important herbs too?  In this program we will look at important useful woody plants (culinary, medicinal, and more) that are found around the world.  Some will be familiar, some maybe not.  We will also look at woody herbs which can  be grown in our own gardens.  Take a break from the heat and learn about plants that give another face to the world of herbs.  

Henry Flowers is a graduate of Texas A&M University and holds both Bachelor and Master of Agriculture degrees in Horticulture. He is currently a horticulturist with Glasco & Co. Landscaping in Brenham, TX, where he enjoys doing a wide variety of tasks.

At home he and his wife Melissa grow a wide variety of herbs that they enjoy for their beauty and usefulness in the kitchen.  He is a lifetime member of The Herb Society of America and was the 2009 recipient of The HSA’s Joanna McQuail Reed Award for the Artistic Use of Herbs.
