NORTHUMBERLAND — Are you happiest when you have your hands in the dirt? If you’re a plant enthusiast, you’re not going to want to miss Saturday’s Herb & Native Plant Faire at the Joseph Priestley House in Northumberland.
Murrie Zlotziver, operations manager of the Priestley House, said the event is relatively new to the museum; this will be the third annual.
