Dear Farm Family, February is upon us once again and we are busy as can be getting lots done in our greenhouse to be ready for Spring! Starting seeds, and making cuttings. We are also busy working our gardens early in anticipation of an early Spring. As you can guess, it is our biggest season of the year and the most beautiful time here. But alas, it is still winter and we have the excitement of Valentines Day this month. To celebrate, we have made some very special candles and heart shaped glass bath and shower gels and bath oils and we have a wonderful dinner planned in our restaurant for Valentines evening, including music with Classic Guitarist Kevin McCormick, so we hope to see many of you that night. Those of you who live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area might be interested to know that I will be giving a talk on Herbs at the Northaven Nursery at 10:00 a.m. on February 26th for the Herb Society of America North & Central Texas Chapter. The title of the talk is "There’s more to Herbs than Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme." We are very excited and proud of the story about Fredericksburg Herb Farm that has just come out in the Spring issue of The Herb Quarterly magazine! If you are not familiar with the magazine, it is a national magazine on Herbs that has been published for 25 years. We hope that many of you have reserved on your calendar April 15th-17th for our Annual Herb Festival, more to come on that next month. We hope you will join us for the Herbfest, or anytime for a beautiful moment in our gardens or spa, restaurant or bed & breakfast. While at the Fredericksburg Herb Farm, nurture your personal beauty with our personal care products. Blessings to all of you, Bill Varney & all the Fredericksburg Herb Farm Staff
