Welcome to Herb Gardeners of Montgomery County. Our club presents a variety of programs on culinary, horticultural, medicinal, crafting and historical uses of herbs. The level of herbal knowledge of our group ranges from enthusiastic novices to seasoned master gardeners and commercial growers. The Herb Gardeners are dedicated to promoting the knowledge, use and delight of herbs through sharing the experience of its members with the community. Any person interested in growing, using or studying herbs is invited to join.
The membership dues are used to pay modest fees for our guest speakers, to purchase plant materials for our demonstration herb gardens and to purchase herb related books which are donated to the county libraries. Herb Gardeners have planted a demonstration herb garden outside the South Branch Library for the enjoyment and education of the community. Also, the Community Center gardens are maintained by the club. Herb Gardeners participate in the annual Earth Day celebration in April, Landscapers Solutions in September and the Wildflower Fest in October.
Annual Membership Dues
Annual membership dues of $25 are collected each March. The calendar year runs from March through February.

Location of meeting varies between South Branch Library, 2101 Lake Robbbins Drive, the Community Center, next door, or at a member's house. Check calendar for location info or email club. A herb related program is presented at each meeting and a brief business meeting of the membership usually follows. Monthly program topics will include culinary, medicinal, gardening and home and health uses for herbs. Field trips to nearby nurseries, tours of members' gardens, and crafting projects are planned throughout the year.
