“RESPECT YOUR ELDERBERRIES”

‘Herb Day’ our annual, fun-filled, public educational event for the entire family features children’s activities, music and crafts as well as programs by herbal experts on growing and using herbs –including a cooking demonstration and an exploration of medicinal properties of herbs.

For interested vendors and sponsors, come and sell your garden-related wares to the many loyal patrons of our Herb Day as well as to new patrons attracted by the rebirth of downtown Montgomery.

Proceeds from the Herb Day event help our volunteers carry out numerous educational activities focused on the value and joy of growing and using herbs – including the free to the public, Herb Day event – school gardening programs – and provision of speakers for community groups and classes. Proceeds also help us maintain our herb gardens – the Governor’s Mansion culinary garden and the five herbal gardens of Old Alabama Town (Landmarks Foundation’s model nineteenth century village and the host to the Old Alabama Town Herb Society).

Thank you…

On behalf of the members of the Old Alabama Town Herb Society and all the attendees and vendors who made this year’s Herb Day a success we’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks to our Sponsors.
