About the speaker:

A life-long lover of all aspects of gardening and nature, Debbie Boutelier’s interest in herbs and other edibles began in the early 80s when she planted her first edible garden with vegetables and culinary herbs. She is an Advanced Master Gardener and has given more than 15,000 hours of volunteer service to the Master Gardener program in Alabama. Debbie received the Mary Lou McNabb State Master Gardener of the Year award, the Jean Lee Lifetime Hours award, and the Top Hours award in 2021. Her involvement with the Master Gardener program led her into a new career as a County Extension Agent in Autauga County for 8 years. Debbie now teaches nationally and presents seminars and workshops on the many aspects of herbs, organic gardening, nutrition, and other garden-related topics. She has studied the medicinal uses of herbs for more than 20 years and completed a three-year intensive study of the medicinal aspect of herbs at the Appalachian Center of Natural Health. Debbie’s herb passion has led to the creation of her small cottage herb business, Rooted in Thyme Apothecary. Debbie is a Founders Circle member, Rosemary Circle member, and past president of the Herb Society of America. Currently, Debbie chairs the GreenBridgesTM committee for HSA. She has appeared on “The Time of Your Life” (local NBC affiliate) and on Troy Public Radio.
