Northern California Unit of the Herb Society of America
Who are we?
The Northern California Unit of the Herb Society of America are an active group of herb lovers! The Unit was founded in 1953. Our members have diverse backgrounds and varying levels of knowledge about herbs. Our mutual interest is herbs; our specific interests in the use of herbs vary significantly. We explore topics from horticultural aspects, culinary uses, medicinal uses, teas, harvesting and preserving, using for crafts and personal items, working with natural dyes, propagation and more. We take field trips, invite speakers in, and hold workshops on various topics. As we explore and gain more knowledge on herbs we share this with the community through public events, such as Herb Day, Spring Expo, Plant Sales and monthly meetings open to the public.
We meet at Rodgers Ranch at 315 Cortsen Rd., Pleasant Hill, CA, on the second Sunday of the month (usually). This property is owned by the Pleasant Hill Recreation and Park District and administered and promoted by the Rodgers Ranch Heritage Association. As a group we maintain the herb gardens surrounding the ranch house. These gardens are open to the public to wander through, enjoy and learn. The gardens are changing and growing as we work on them through the seasons. There is always something going on in the gardens!
We have 10 monthly meetings, as well as several events through out the year. There are many ways to participate in the organization from being on our herb interest list to becoming a member. Click here to sign up for our herb interest list or send an email to [email protected]. Not only do we learn and share a lot about herbs, their uses and places in our lives, we make new friends and have a lot of fun!
We are a unit of the larger national organization the Herb Society of America. Both the parent organization and the unit are tax-exempt organizations focused on education. To join the local unit, one must be a member of the national organization. Individual, Family and Business memberships are available.
