Fun at the April Meeting

Posted on by

Thanks to all who made it out to the meeting and to all of those who worked so hard to pull it together. I think those Plant ID labels are going to be beautiful in our herb gardens!

Special thanks to Lisa Lenox of Bottle Tree Pottery for showing us the way
and for the finishing – glazing and firing. Lisa, we want you to come on across the street and join the Herb Society!

Thanks also to Sherrie for getting this fun program together for us.

Alabama Book Festival 2015

Thanks to all of those who came out to help sell cookbooks. (Barbara Hightower, Uschi Kling, Liz McEwan, Kayren Pittman, Kisha Nicolas, Toni Bourke and Jean and family.)
We sold 17 books which is pretty good and it gave us the opportunity to meet new people, talk about our group and promote Herb Day. The weather was perfect as was the easy camaraderie of our group.
