First Thursday in the Month from 7.00pm Parish Hall
Bob Biggs came along to a busy hall armed with a large assortment of herbs for us all to handle and smell. His knowledge, and enthusiasm was excellent. Bob runs the Wanborough Nusery with his son which supplies the wholesale trade and he can also be found at various market stalls, the nearest to us is at the Calne Market. Chives to Borage, Bergamot to Fennel, so many herbs to choose from. Make sure you read the labels to see where to plant and which ones will not work together as they may compete for the space especially if they are in a pot together. When cutting for use make sure you cut from the bottom of the stems so they will replenish themselves properly.
