Herb Society

The list of programs for the July 2008 through June 2009
program year can be found below.

We are in the process of putting together the programs for the upcoming year. On July 18, we will meet at the Log Cabin Village for a work day in the herb garden.

The Greater Fort Worth Herb Society was founded in 1985 with the purpose of "sharing knowledge of herbal folklore, planting, growing, propagating, cultivating, harvesting and using herbs." A further goal is the fostering of education and knowledge regarding herbs and other botanical subjects.

As a service to the community, the Herb Society plants and maintains a Herb Garden at the Log Cabin Village. The garden contains herbs from the period of settlement as well as more modern species since the garden is used as a teaching garden by BRIT to instruct children and adults.

Each year in May, the Herb Society hosts a Herb Festival. In 2009, the Festival will be held on Saturday, May 16, at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden Center. See our Herb Festival page to learn more about the 2008 Herb Festival and watch for future updates on the 2009 Festival.
