It occurred to me as I left the meeting last night that I hadn't done a post on the Springfield Herb Society. It is a gray stormy day today, so I think I'll sit down and tell you guys all about it.
If you are interested in herbs and live in the Springfield area, this group is for you. The club meets once a month at the Botanical Gardens Center at Nathanael Greene Park and also has some special events throughout the year like the Wild Edibles Herb Walk happening this coming Sunday. The Springfield Herb Society monthly meetings are free to the public, but membership does have its perks! Members receive discounts on events like the herb walks, are eligible for the raffle prizes at the end of each meeting and more!
Each month we hear from a volunteer lecturer on an herbal topic ranging from herb gardening, tinctures and remedies, aromatherapy, etc. We also hear an "Herb Highlight" from a member who would like to speak specifically about one herb and we are also reminded of coming volunteer work days in the herb gardens at the park and other events. Members are encouraged to bring a food item to share. The food spreads at these meetings are pretty incredible! At the end of each meeting there is a raffle drawing with door prizes for members. Membership is very affordable and provides the funding to make it all possible.
I love attending the monthly meetings and learning from other herb enthusiasts in my community. If you have any interest in expanding your herbal education please consider joining us next month on October 21st from 6:00pm-8:00pm. For complete details please see the website. I hope to see you there!
