Local Food Field Trip: Herbs for the Heart

The Local Food Project crew recently made a trip to DeBaggio’s Herb Farm and Nursery in Chantilly, VA to pick up plants for some expanded perennial sections in the LFP garden. We picked out several varieties of hardy rosemary, sweet and tangy apple mint, exotic curry plant, aromatic Spanish lavender, bright red flowering sage, and other interesting herbs and beneficials. Back at the garden, we transformed an old composting area near the hoophouse into a fun heart-shaped bed. More shapes are coming soon!
