Our neighborhood garden has a lovely little free library/sharing station and herb garden right on the corner of Murdock and Amidon.

The "pyra-mint" is filling in nicely and herbs are ready for picking. Be sure to wander down and use the scissors next to the herb garden sign to pick what you can use.

Our newest addition is the garden map on the fence, complete with a QR code to help you determine what to do with the herbs you choose. It is phenomenal!

You'll find a box of lambs ear at the sharing station. It is ready for you to put in the ground. Thank you for sharing, neighbors!
