Mini Herb Garden in a Trough Workshop.

We had a brilliant afternoon in the Garden looking at how to grow some of our more common herbs and the types of conditions they like.   We had grown some young herb plants and everyone was able to choose their favourites and plant up a container with herbs to take home.
