Author Nan K. Chase will discuss her latest book at the Tulsa Garden Center this month.
Join the Tulsa Herb Society as they feast from their own backyards and enjoy an evening with Nan K. Chase, journalist and author of “Eat Your Yard!” She will be in Tulsa on Monday, July 9 at the Tulsa Garden Center, 2435 S. Peoria Ave., from 7 p.m. to 8:30 pm.
“Eat Your Yard!” proves that you can have your beautiful landscape and eat it too! Sure, vegetables are nice, but you don’t have to rip up your front lawn in order to have a food-producing garden. Chase’s book proposes a new way to use the garden efficiently. Fruit trees, shrubs, vines, herbs and flowers provide beautiful blossoms, foliage and structure, while also offering fruits, nuts, herbs, seeds and tuberous roots that you can eat fresh or preserve for year-round enjoyment.
Chase gives firsthand information and advice for growing 30 plants that offer the best landscape features and culinary uses. Recipes ranging from savory cherry sauce to pickled grape leaves to mint wine to grilled yucca demonstrate the infinite culinary possibilities your yard can offer.
Ms. Chase writes about architecture and landscape design from her home in western North Carolina. She is the co-author of “Bark House Style” and author of “Asheville: A History,” and maintains an active lecture and demonstration schedule for garden and landscape organizations, writers groups, and cooking schools.
Her work has also appeared in the New York Times, Smithsonian, Fine Gardening, Architectural Record and Southern Living. She lives in Asheville, North Carolina, where she is a contributing writer to WNC Magazine.
Reservations are not required to this event, which is sponsored by the Tulsa Herb Society. Admission is free.
