Spring is here!! And that means it’s almost time for the 2007 Spring Open House! May 4, 5, 6, 2007 are the dates, so mark your calendars now. You can read all the details below. I have already seen many of you at The Little Herb House during March, shopping, attending workshops, etc. In case you have forgotten,
The Little Herb House is:
Open for Business
Every Tuesday – 10 am to 3 pm, and
Every 2nd & 4th Saturday – 9 am to 3 pm
That’s right, no appointment is necessary, just bring your friends and come on out! You can still make appointments for other days
of the week, but these are now regular business hours. Plus boxed picnic lunches are available during your visit! All that’s necessary
to order a boxed picnic lunch for the day of your visit is to call or e-mail your order by 2:00 pm the day before your planned visit. You
can pay for your lunch ($10, which includes tax and delivery tip) the next day. Please click on this link to see boxed-lunch menu choices

Schedule of Events
10:30 am & 2:30 pm Garden Tours given by Lisa Treadaway, owner of The Little Herb House. Lisa will tour you through the 8 theme-gardens of her display herbs & flowers garden,
while answering your questions as time permits. Tours are $5.00/person and last approximately 45 minutes. Tickets for the tour can be purchased in advance inside at the counter. At the end of the tour, a ticket will be drawn for a $20 gift card to use at The Little Herb House.
12 noon Springtime Container Herb Gardens
What could be easier that planting herbs in containers? Containers are a great way to grow herbs, especially if you are short on space or sunlight. Lisa and Ruth Cooper, hanging basket designer at Wilde Oaks Nursery, will demonstrate various designs, themes and pots/containers using herbs and flowers. Examples are scented-geranium bowls, salad bowls, “lemonade” containers, herbal strawberry jars, etc.
All Day Herbal Refreshments
As always, herbal refreshments will be served all day. Come sample herbal dips, bread mixes, cookies, teas, etc. Many of these herbal delights are sold in the gift shop of The Little Herb House.
Open House Highlights
Vintage Wrought Iron Garden Deco
I am pleased to present a new line of vintage wrought iron for the garden, porch, patio, etc.!
Items like obelisks, benches, lanterns, garden stakes, planters, hanging wall planters and much more are now here, at very reasonable prices. I have priced wrought iron in the Triangle area, and I think you will find The Little Herb House to be very competitive!

This line of seeds is known for its quality of seed, beautiful photos and detailed growing information on the packet. You will find 60 varieties of herbs and edible flowers at $2.69/seed packet.

Booster. This growing medium is formulated especially for the unique requirements of lavender,and is added to the soil at the time of planting. Comes in 5 lb. bags for $9.95; each bag plants 20 4-inch plants or 10 1-gallon plants.

That’s all for this issue! Trying to keep it short in order to get this to all of you before the Open House!
Looking forward to seeing everyone on May 4th,5th or 6th -
Until next time, “Find a way, to enjoy herbs every day.”

Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
1 There is
a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
2 a time to be born and a time to
die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
12 I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live.
13 That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God.
