For myself and our team, Hillermann Nursery & Florist is more than a store - it's a passion, and you are more than customers - you are friends and extended family. It is such a delight to see you again as you stop by to enjoy the warmth and color inside our greenhouses and on our nursery lot.

       We will be fully stocked by this weekend!! This is such an exciting time of year. The abundance of color on a dreary day is breathtaking.

Hope to see you soon,

Sandi

Cooking With Herbs

       Herbs can make a familiar dish new or lift an ordinary entrée to gourmet status. Their subtle magic transforms soups, stews, salads, breads and even desserts. With a bouquet of herbs or a scattering of herb flowers as a garnish, your food will look as wonderful as it tastes.

     1. Basil - It's warm, heady flavor lends itself to Italian or Mediterranean cooking, especially tomato dishes or with eggs, cheese or salads. Special tips: Pesto Sauce: blend 2 c. of fresh basil, ¼ c. of parmesan, ½ c. of olive oil, 3 tbs. of pine nuts or walnuts and 3 cloves of garlic minced. Use on pasta and vegetables.

     2. Chives - The subtle onion flavor of chives is perfect in omelets, salads, soups, or on potatoes and other vegetables. Special tips: Get rid of onion like odor by chewing on a fresh parsley sprig.
