My mother and I had such a shared love of herbs. We were going to start an herb farm here in Brown County, where I now live. We went to an Herb Conference at Purdue many years ago and planted mint in the area we were gong to develop on US 46 . It stills thrives. Our plans were changed when my husband bought a business in Kentucky and we moved But my love for herbs is deep and rooted with my mom and this property and I think she is still watching over this mint. I love reading about these determined women who loved gardening . Thanks

Becky, You're welcome. And how interesting about your herb farm plans! I've found so many herbalists to add to my list...

She deserves to be recognized just for wearing that hat!

You mean the hat Gertrude B. Foster wore? I remember seeing a similar hat at the Elizabeth Lawrence house and garden!
