Learn about herb gardens from The State Botanical Garden of Georgia's Twilight Toasts

As gas prices and food costs continue to rise many people are investing in a garden.

A great way to learn about gardening is to visit The State Botanical Garden of Georgia. Check their Web site for events and classes. They have a great educational and social gathering series called Twilight Toasts--they "combine live music, horticultural information, wine tasting and hors d'oeuvres in a relaxed atmosphere within the Conservatory—the perfect evening event to meet your friends or make new friends!"

The next Twilight Toast will educate guests about herbs:

From the garden's Web site:

"Twilight Toasts just keeps getting better and better! If you haven’t tried Twilight Toasts yet, now’s the time to meet all of those who wouldn’t want to miss one! Twilight Toasts is an evening adult gathering in the Conservatory, with live music, light hors d’oeuvres and a wine tasting from Gosford Wine. Our horticultural segment this time will be an herb tasting, looking at fresh herbs and tasting herbed butters and oils on fresh bread from Big City Bread. Mmm…yum! You’ll find out exactly which herbs to add to your garden to harvest the flavors you enjoy. Call 706-542-1244 for tickets."
