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...
I would like to know more about Gertrude B Foster.
I wrote about Gertrude back in September. https://lostladiesofgardenwriting.substack.com/p/gertrude-b-foster
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!
I love reading about these fascinating and inspiring women! I hope you put these posts together in a book.
Thank you. Yes, maybe someday a book!
