On Saturday, June 11th I traveled to Dillweed Bed & Breakfast for their 13th annual Pick-A-Dilly Herb Faire.

This bed and breakfast is located in a turn-of-the century home and offers four comfortable air conditioned guest rooms with two shared baths and one garden suite with complete private amenities. It is located off of Route 403 in Dilltown, PA.
The festivities began at 9 am and was co-sponsored by The Indiana County Herb Study Group.
There were numerous growers selling a large variety of flowering plants, herbs and perennials in tents surrounding the bed and breakfast. The Herb Faire was quite busy and people were taking advantage of the very affordable plants and herbs. The Herb Faire wasn’t just limited to plants though; several artisans were selling original artwork, jewelry, hand-poured soap products, copper items and other garden inspired products.
Refreshments and food were also available for purchase, including their famous Pesto Pizza, which I must say was truly delicious!
Spectators also heard valuable gardening information and growing tips as well as how to care for and cultivate their own herbal gardens.
Horseradish, the herb of the year as proclaimed by the International Herb Association, was the featured herb at the Herb Faire this year.
There was even an “Ask the Gardening Expert” area where you could ask your general gardening questions anytime throughout the duration of the Herb Faire!

Be sure to mark your calendars in June 2012 for the next annual Pick-A-Dilly Herb Faire! It's a great place to purchase plants and herbs, learn valuable gardening tips, enjoy delicious food and spend time outdoors having fun. Hope to see you there next year!
I will have to mark my calendar for next year. This event sounds like it will be great to attend. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else go to this event? I didn't get to attend this year but would like to know if Georgette gave her talk on herbs?
ReplyDeleteYvonne,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you were unable to attend this year! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to be there during her presentation but I know that Georgette was scheduled to present at 11AM regarding Horseradishes- the 2011 Herb of the Year. The presentation was to include culinary information, history and taste testing of Horseradish bacon dip. Hopefully you will be able to attend next year and that I will also catch her presentation then too!
