Small-batch culinary herbs add flavor to gardening menu

Small-batch culinary herbs add flavor to gardening menu Jennifer Fishburn Horticulture Educator, Illinois Extension URBANA, Ill. – Culinary herbs can add variety and splashes of color to any deck, balcony, or patio. This makes them an excellent option for many small space gardeners. “My favorite group of plants to grow is culinary herbs,” says Jennifer Fishburn, a University of Illinois Extension horticulture educator based in Sangamon County. “These plants are good fillers in perennial and herb gardens, and many are a source of pollen and nectar for pollinating insects.” The same herbs that add flavor to your favorite food dishes do well in containers, says Fishburn. The herbs used in container gardening can be planted either alone or mixed with annual flowers or vegetables. They will need to receive full sun.

Kickapoo Park gets help from Master Naturalists

Jennifer Fishburn University of Illinois Extension During the months of April and May, the bird watching station at Kickapoo Creek Park will be manned periodically by experienced birdwatchers to help visitors identify the many birds that visit the nearby feeders.  University of Illinois Extension Master Naturalist volunteers will be on duty from 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday, April 10, 17, 24, and May 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. This year the event will follow COVID-19 safety precautions, including wearing a face covering and socially distancing.  The shelter can hold two visitors at a time. Observers are likely to see not only the familiar cardinals, blue jays and chickadees, but also red-winged blackbirds, at least three species of woodpecker, nuthatches, titmice and finches, among others.  Colorful orioles or rose breasted grosbeaks also stop by occasionally.  Though the feeders are within 20 feet of the station’s large windows, participants are encouraged to bring binoculars.
