What it does
The Herb Society provides herb profiles, articles, events and learning resources. Its coverage includes growing, garden design, plant history and wider cultural uses of herbs.
The Herb Society is useful for a gardener interested in the context of a herb collection as well as the plants. A herbal directory, plant profiles and a physic-garden design route sit alongside history, folklore and book reviews. Start with the growing or design material for a garden project, then use the historical resources to investigate a particular collection theme. The organisation covers several aspects of herbal life, so the horticultural route is the clearest entrance for this task. Membership adds magazine, archive and group access as a separate offering from the public articles.
