Herbs: Nature's Universal Treasure
The Webster Groves Herb Society was organized in 1971 to promote the growing and using of herbs.
Our motto: Each One Teach One
We own and maintain the Herb Garden at the HistoricHawken House in Webster Groves, Missouri. In addition, our Society supports herb gardens at other area Historic homes: Mudd's Grove in Kirkwood and Faust Park Historic herb garden in West St. Louis County.
Our two major community events are our Spring Herb Plant Sale in April, and our Autumn Herb Gathering in October.
Our one day Plant Sale features over 10,000 herb plants, a one-stop-shopping convenience offering the widest selection of herb varieties in the Greater St. Louis area. Our knowledgable members can answer your herb-growing, herb-using, herb-selecting questions. Demonstrations, food samples, gardening and herbal books add to the herbalicious atmosphere of the day!
The Autumn Herb Gathering explores the uses of all the wonderful herbs we have grown during the summer. Guest speakers share their experiences growing, harvesting, and using herbs. WGHS members show what can be crafted from herbs. These hand-crafted herbal items are for sale, along with herbal and gardening books.
