GRUB GARDENER
Tour and workshop
Thursday, the Denver Botanic Gardens hosts Gayla Trail, the best- selling author of “You Grow Girl” and “Grow Great Grub.” The event begins with a $10 tour of edible plants that are especially well-suited to small spaces. Then at 7 p.m., Trail will speak in Mitchell Hall during what promises to be a popular follow-up to last year’s sold-out event. $15-$20; to register, call 720-865-3580 or e-mail registrar@botanicgardens.org.
HERBIVORE ALERT
Spice of life
How do we love herbs? Let us count the ways . . . or let author Judy Lowe show you dozens of new ways to use those trusty ‘ol flavors in her new book “Herbs! Creative Herb Garden Themes and Projects” ($19.95, Cool Springs Press). The prolific Tennessee-based gardening writer offers such distinctive recipes as scented geranium cake and fresh herb jelly. Add to these her kids’ projects and gardening ideas, and this book is a keeper.
