“Herb Festival” - 2022 莱镇花草节

早在远古时期，花花草草就是人类的好伙伴。它可以烹饪成美食，满足人的口腹之欲；也可以肆意美丽，给赏花人带来欢喜。

诗经曰：参差荇菜，左右流之。窈窕淑女，寤寐求之。

《楚辞》: 余既滋兰之九畹兮，又树蕙之百亩。畦留夷与揭车兮，杂杜衡与芳芷。

陶渊明诗：采菊东篱下悠然见南山。

辛弃疾词：黄花谩说年年好，也趁秋光老...人好花堪笑。

为了增进社区交流，九月十日，莱镇历史学会和莱镇园艺俱乐部将在Buckman Tavern & Hancock - Clarke House举办第二届莱镇香草节（Herb Festival）。现场将会有各种花草、香料以及相关衍生品的展览展示。莱镇华协(CAAL) 将在Buckman Tavern(Visitor Center 前面的草地) 设置富有特色的展台，包括木槿等各种传统花卉瓜菜展示与义卖，还有精湛的中国茶艺展示、动人心弦的现场中国民乐演奏。

赠人玫瑰，手有余香；何以解忧，莳花种菜！希望能够再次看到大家，也欢迎各位花花草草爱好者与大家一起分享你喜欢的花草。愿意分享植物或者种子的小伙伴们，请在九月十号中午将Pot好的植物带到展区。

Date: Saturday, September 10th

涉江采芙蓉，兰泽多芳草。采之欲遗谁？所思在远道。

- 这是相思

今日阶前红芍药，几花欲老几花新。

- 这是问禅

卖花担上。买得一枝春欲放。

泪染轻匀。犹带彤霞晓露痕。

怕郎猜道。奴面不如花面好。

云鬓斜簪。徒要教郎比并看。

- 这是买花人

桑下春蔬绿满畦，菘心青嫩芥苔肥。

这是种菜翁。

诚邀大家一起参加莱镇香草节，无论闻物相思或把花问禅，买花人或种菜翁，各得其乐。
