WSU Master Gardener Sally Tysver shares tips for bringing 12 fresh culinary herbs from the garden to the kitchen at the next Green Thumbs event, set for noon on Thursday, March 14, in the county commissioners’ meeting room of the Clallam County Courthouse, 223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles.

Tysver will discuss indoor seed starting and container gardening. She will also explain how to transplant new seedlings and to sow seeds directly in a home garden when the weather warms up.

She will provide tips for growing, harvesting, storing and cooking with these herbs
