Guest Speaker: Karen Sutherland
Topic: Native Herbs
Thursday 1st June 2023
General Monthly Event, Please be seated 7.15 for 7.30 pm Start
Karen Sutherland from ‘Edible Eden’ is a horticulturalist who consults and designs gardens for home harvest. She co-authored the book ‘Tomato: Know, Sow, Grow, Feast’ with Penny Woodward and Janice Sutton. Her own suburban garden is all about sustainability, with a huge variety of edibles; some exotics and especially indigenous plants with over 40 bush food plants.
HSOV had Karen booked to speak just as COVID forced a postponement, so we have been waiting a long time to see her again. Her last presentation to our group was fascinating. This is one not to be missed!
Plus: Stay for Herb Tea and a bite afterwards.
If possible, please bring a plate to share and/or herbs for herb tea or assist at the tea trolley after the main event.
