About Explore the world of herbs at Quail Botanical Gradens' Annual Herb Festival. The two-day event features numerous lectures, workshops and children's activities: Chemist and aspiring chef Mary Dralle will talk about The Chemistry of Eggs Florentine and Rosemary Potatoes, and herbalist Charlotte Tenney will speak on The Science of Herbs. Then listen to Dr. Robert Bonakdar, Director of Pain Management at the Scripps Center of Integrative Medicine as he addresses herbs and pain management. On Saturday, March 21, from 11am - 2pm, children's activities include story telling and wizardly goings-on in the Herb Garden. For a small fee, children can make their own potpourri pouch of secret herbal ingredients, learn about the legendary connection between Basil and Basilisks, and create their own basil seed starter pot shaped like a basilisk. Children will explore herbal references in children's literature such as the plants mentioned in Peter Rabbit and Harry Potter books. There will also be guided tours of the Herb Garden, the Herb Festival Marketplace, the A-Z of Herbs Information Booth, ongoing music, and delicious and healthy food. Most activities are free with Garden admission.
