About the Expert

Deborah C. Harding watched and helped her Mom and Dad in an extensive garden and learned all about using herbs from her Grandmother. She and her late husband grew over 250 varieties of herbs, vegetables and flowers in their tiny city lot and proved that gardening with herbs can be addicting, but it is a good addiction.

She supplied the neighborhood with herbs for cooking, curing, scenting, cleaning and more. She currently resides in NE Ohio and has become a teacher to her two grown daughters, a grandson and anyone else who wants to learn about herbs.
