UNION TWP., Pa. — An event in Union Township explored the world of gardening and medicinal herbs in the early 1800’s. 

Visitors took a step back in time at Hopewell Furnace on Sunday. 

Penn State Master Gardeners gave tours of the different gardens they maintain on the property.

The aim was to give visitors a taste of what life would have been like way back when.

The master gardeners also maintain a ‘Fiber and Dye Garden’ in the village.

Those plants were used to dye clothes and other linens.
