Cool+Cloudy Herbs

San Francisco gardeners pull their hair out trying to grow tomatoes, peppers, and melons. That's because those plants need two things we are short on: sun and heat. Stop trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. With our temperate days with moderate (read: little) sunshine, many herbs thrive in San Francisco. Furthermore, herbs are fabulous, often overlooked additions to our gardens, cuisines, and health. Learn all about them -- from growing to making into salads, salves, and balms with Tammi Hartung and Saxon Holt, author and photographer of the gorgeous and informative new book Homegrown Herbs (Storey Publishing, 2011). The book is a complete primer for growing, harvesting, and using more than 100 herbs -- perfect for San Francisco gardeners.

A light herb-laden, vegetarian dinner will be served.

An internationally renowned herbalist, teacher, and certified organic grower, Tammi Hartung has filled this indispensable reference with information gathered from her 30-plus years of studying and working with these amazing plants. Saxon Holt is a lifelong gardener and renowned garden photographer who has won awards from the American Horticultural Society and the Garden Writers Association for outstanding garden books. He has won 5 awards in total from the GWA.
