Herb Day 2019 (our 22nd year) was a GIGANTIC success! Thank you again to all our sponsors, vendors, exhibitors, and the Boy Scouts who helped out. Special thanks to Grace Presbyterian Church for providing the gorgeous venue and the really yummy on-site food (hamburger was awesome!) – the congregation was so warm and welcoming and it has made for a great partnership in this event. We had so many positive comments and over 1,000 visitors – we would love to hear from any of you with reviews or comments to our Facebook page! Last but by no means least the hard working members of the Alabama Herb Society under the direction of our Herb Day Chairwoman, Jean Szabo (aka Fearless Leader) did an amazing job!

January Meeting Features Yarrow
OATHS member Kathy Quinn will do a presentation about traditional medicinal uses Yarrow (Achillea Millefollium) at our next meeting on Tuesday, January 17 at 6pm at the Loeb Center of Old Alabama Town. Yarrow is a flowering herb that grows in several of the gardens in Old Alabama Town. It has been used since ancient times and has many interesting properties. Herb Society members and other interested people are invited to hear her presentation. Kathy is a pharmacist with 25 years experience who has recently become interested in non-pharmaceutical ways of healing. She completed a certificate in Community Herbalism from the Appalachian Center for Natural Health located in Arab, Alabama. She began studying herbs in the garden and came to Old Alabama Town to Herb day for a number of years, joining the Herb Society last year.
