The West Chicago Garden Club

We are happy to welcome back Marcy Lautanen-Raleigh.  Marcy gave us a wealth of information and some great recipes in her presentation, Be an Herbal Gourmet, in August 2022.

Marcy is the creator and owner of Backyard Patch Herbs, an online purveyor of salt-free, gluten-free, preservative-free herb cooking and tea products. She began growing herbs in 1994 with a small kitchen garden. Currently, after 25 years, she has expanded to a ¾ acre garden. Over the years she has learned much about herbs, their growing habits, uses and quirks. 

In this month’s presentation, Edible Flowers, Marcy will delve into the world of edible flowers with her photo-based presentation. Discover the delicious flavors of Day lilies, Anise Hyssop, and more, along with the beneficial properties of roses and sage flowers. Learn about over 20 edible flowers, with tips on harvesting, preserving, and preparing, plus plant lists and a selection of recipes to enjoy.

Meeting Location: St Andrew Lutheran Church (NE Corner of Prince Crossing & Geneva Road.)
