Barrington Garden Club Program: Using Herbs with Betsy Williams. Demonstration and Tasting
Betsy Williams is from
Andover, Mass. Trained as a florist in Boston and in England, she is a teacher, gardener, herbalist and author, focusing on how herbs and flowers can be a part of people's lives. Her gardens and floral work have been showcased in Victoria, Better Homes and Gardens, the New York Times and Traditional Homes, and she has lectured at Colonial Williamsburg and Monticello as well as the Rhode Island Flower Show. She has

On March 18, Betsy will speak at the Barrington Public Library, demonstrating how to include herbs in butter,

creations. There will also be a raffle for each one of her books that are still
in print.
