Hanson's Garden Village and Nicolet College team up for Herb Fest
The event will be held rain or shine and is free to the public.
"Herb Fest is a free, annual event held on the third Saturday in June," organizers said in a press release. "It was created to share ideas about herbs with the community through talks, demonstrations, and food samples. Speakers at the event are from both Hanson's Garden Village and the community."
Nicolet College is co-sponsoring this year's event and the special guest speaker will be Jane Hawley Stevens.
"Hanson's Garden Village and Nicolet College are excited and honored to have her share her herbal knowledge at this event," the release states. "Jane Hawley Stevens began specializing in herbs in 1981 after earning her Horticulture degree from U.W. Madison. Opportunities in herb garden design evolved into using herbs in cooking and home remedies. In 1987, she began Four Elements Organic Herbals, continuing to grow herbs used for well-being. Grown and harvested on her 130-acre farm in the Baraboo Bluffs of Wisconsin, products are handmade by dedicated local women and sold throughout the country. A pioneer in organic farming and the natural product industry, Jane has taken her love and reverence for nature to inspire others through her effective products and teaching at organic herb, garden and professional events. Her desire is to connect people consciously to that which sustains them. Her art and science of herbal wellness has expanded to create Four Elements Herbals product line that sells across the country."
