We learned that there are five herb families:  mint, aster, carrot, amaryllis and laurel. Did you know that various parts of the plants are used? This incudes leaves, sap, bark, flowers, bulbs, roots and even seeds.  Betsy also discussed growing, harvesting, cooking and preserving herbs. <br><br>November is officer election month for CCMGA.
