Herbs are much more than just flavoring for food, they also add tons of nutrients, especially when picked from your own backyard.  Mid-April (think Tax Day) is a perfect time to begin your herb garden.  Herbs also make beautiful, unique landscape plants and are simple to grow.  Have fun and venture out from the common herbs such as oregano and basil and perhaps try nasturtiums and catnip. For a comprehensive list of herbs including more exotic varieties, visit 

Visit her blog for more great information on growing and planning your unique herb garden ...


Sage, Rosemary, Chives, Wild Bergamot, Hyssop, Catnip, Lemon balm, Chocolate Mint, Basil, Nasturtiums, Dill, Cilantro

Sign Up Here

EVENT DETAILS
Thursday May 31st | 6:30 – 9:30 P.M.
Moreseville, NC (address will be shared to registered participants
space is limited to 10 people.  If you register and later cannot attend, please let Shannon know asap.

More about the movie: THE GREATEST HEALER IS WITHIN.

Director Kelly Noonan's documentary takes us on a scientific and spiritual journey where we discover that our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have a huge impact on our health and ability to heal. The latest science reveals that we are not victims of unchangeable genes, nor should we buy into a scary prognosis. The fact is we have more control over our health and life than we have been taught to believe. This film will empower you with a new understanding of the miraculous nature of the human body and the extraordinary healer within us all.

HEAL not only taps into the brilliant mind's of leading scientists and spiritual teachers, but follows two people on actual high stakes healing journeys. Healing can be extremely complex and deeply personal, but it can also happen spontaneously in a moment. Through these inspiring and emotional stories we find out what works, what doesn't, and why.

Featuring Dr. Deepak Chopra, Anita Moorjani, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Michael Beckwith, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Anthony William, Gregg Braden, Dr. Joan Borysenko, Dr. David Hamilton, Dr. Kelly Brogan, Rob Wergin, Dr. Kelly Turner, Peter Chrone, Dr. Darren Weissman, and Dr. Jeffrey Thompson.
