At each meeting we have:

  • Herb of the Night
  • Topic eg. Speaker, craft making, demonstrations, pot luck meal
  • Sales table – members are welcome to bring along garden produce, plants, craft item, bottles or jars
  • Library – there is a large selection of books and magazines for members to borrow
  • Supper – with herbal tea

The Herb Society established and, inconjugation with the Parks and Reserves, maintains the fragrant garden at the Blind Centre.

A monthly newsletter “Herbal Harvest” is emailed to all financial members.

Subscriptions are $35 per person and $50 per family.

You are welcome to come along for two meetings and see if you like us before you join up. We do hope you will increase your knowledge of herbs with us.
