Spring Festival

Dr. Duke

We are happy to announce that Dr. James Duke will be our honored guest at this year’s Herb Festival. He is the author of The Green Pharmacy® Guide to Healing Foods: Proven Natural Remedies to Treat and Prevent More than 80 Common Health Concerns, which was published in 2009. He will give a presentation each day on foods as medicines, featuring spices especially, and will sign copies of his book.

Additionally, there will be guided tours of the herb garden, on-going speakers on garden and herb-related topics, Herb Festival Market-place, the A-Z of Herbs information booths, and the SDBG Spring Plant Sale. Back by popular demand is Tomatomania® with lectures and plenty of hybrid tomato seedlings.

Children’s activities will focus on dill, the Herb of the Year. 11:00 am - 2:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday.
