Trade perennials at Haus As spring approaches quickly thoughts turn to gardening and even the most casual gardeners are itching to get out into their gardens and get their hands dirty. As the four-square kitchen garden springs back to life at the Joseph Schneider Haus, at 466 Queen St. S., Kitchener, some of the first plants to poke their new shoots through the soil are the garden’s abundant herbs. Herbs of various types and forms were a mainstay of the Mennonite kitchen garden. How were herbs used in the past? How can we use herbs today? What kind of herbs should you plant? The Joseph Schneider Haus can’t promise that the warm weather is here to stay but they have organized an event that will warm the heart of the gardener. An Herb Fair and Perennial Exchange will be held on Saturday, April 29 from 10 to 5 p.m. At 2 p.m. author Pat Crocker will be presenting a lecture entitled Cooking with Medicinal Herbs.
