To Pull or Not to Pull

Please take a look at the herbs in the Library Herb Garden. One unknown plant may be Tansy. This herb is about 3' tall, with fern-like leaves and tight light-orange to yellow flowers in clusters. Tansy when brushed gives off a camphor-like smell. It has a sharp taste and was traditionally used in Easter pudding. Tansy also expels worms. Native Americans used Tansy poultices to encourage conception. Please contact our Garden Director, Ancha, if you have a positive identification of the plant in question.
