CT Public’s debate series continues in the lead up to Election Day, November 8.
In this hour on Where We Live, a Hearst politics reporter breaks down the issues at stake from a debate between Democratic incumbent John Larson and Dr. Larry Lazor, Republican candidates in the first congressional district. They debated each other at Manchester Community College on Tuesday, October 11, moderated by CT Public’s Ray Hardman.
Later, we learn about medicinal gardens and the use of medicinal plants in pharmaceuticals to this day.
We also hear from a tea shop owner in Westport who practices traditional Chinese medicine. We learn about consuming medicinal foods from a home garden – like ginger, garlic, and scallion.
