March Reflections in the Garden

March Reflections in the Garden

Topic: Grow What You Cook: Herbs, Peppers, and Vegetables for Louisiana Gardens 

Speaker: Mila Berhane, Co-Owner, Greenhand Nursery

About the Speaker:

The story of Greenhand Nursery starts with its founders, Mila and Andeab Berhane, who carefully raise and sell their herbs and vegetables at both the Thursday and Saturday markets. The Berhanes initially sold tropical plants, but have since expanded their variety significantly to cater to advancements in home cooking. Testing each plant in their home garden before selling them, the Berhanes ensure everything they sell is appropriate for south Louisiana’s climate. Their selection of exotic herbs and peppers, heirloom tomatoes, and vegetable plants leave customers flocking to the Berhanes’ booth for both growing guidance and culinary inspiration.

Event Details:
March 1, 2027 from 12 pm to 1 pm at the Ione Burden Conference Center (4560 Essen Lane, Baton Rouge, LA 70809)
