"Spring Herb Planting"

Our Speaker will be Rose Loveall-SALE

OWNER, Morningsun Herb Farm

Rose Loveall-Sale is owner of Morningsun Herb Farm, a family-owned nursery specializing in culinary, medicinal and specialty herbs.  She has spent the last 30 years growing more than 700 varieties of herbs and perennials, starting the nursery as a weekendventure and expanding it to a plant lover’s destination, as well as a mailorder nursery.   Rose is originally a forester by education(University of California, Berkeley), but discovered that herbs were her favorite plants to grow and enjoy.  AnM.S. in Environmental Horticulture from the University of California at Davis rounded out her education and piqued her interest in owning and operating her own nursery.  Her family’s farm in northern California proved the perfect spot for her horticultural endeavors

When Rose isn’t in the greenhouses or out in the demonstration gardens, she is teaching classes and giving talks on the many aspects of gardening with herbs throughout northern California.  She is a much sought after speaker by gardening groups and local schools and colleges.  Teaching hands-on classes in the gardens and cut flower fields at Morningsun are one of Rose’s favorite activities at the nursery.   Rose believes herbs belong in every garden, and enjoys teaching to all age groups and gardening abilities to make growing herbs more accessible.  Rose is a longtime member of the Herb Society of America, serving as the Honorarypresident from 2022-2024, and receiving the Madalene Hill Award for Excellence in Herbal Education in 2022.

Morningsun Herb Farm sits on 3 acres of farmland, surrounded by low rolling hillsides and anchored by walnut trees originally planted by Rose’s grandfather in 1956.  It’s Rose’s happy place, and customers agree that the farm is a magical place to relax, share with children and bring a lunch. Wildlife is everywhere at the farm, along with Rose’s other passion, her collection of rescue animals.  Even folks who don’t garden come to the nursery to relax and pet the mini donkeys and goat!
