The Holiday Island Garden Club visited Long Creek Herbs in Blue Eye, Missouri.  We had an incredible time as our hosts Jim Long and Josh Young gave us a tour of the beautiful herb garden, instructed us on the different varieties of herbs and planting times, and showed us how to identify some new invasive plants.  We were treated to ice cold lemonade,  lemon thyme blueberry muffins with edible flowers! Best of all, we were able to sit with Jim on his porch and hear personal stories of his travels and favorite places to eat.  See the article in Carroll County News.
