Here is a sneak peak into part of our garden crew and the beautiful 18th Century Medicinal Garden at Historic Yellow Springs .

One of the beautiful things about being apart of the HSA Philadelphia unit and The Herb Society of America is the sense of community you get from sharing beautiful experiences and spaces with like minded people. Being apart of our educational gardens like this one and the one Tyler Arboretum also leads to sharing a bit of your passions and interests with the local community around you.

This garden in particular shares herbal knowledge and plants used during the revolutionary war.

Thank you to our members and our volunteers for making this wonderful herb sale happen every year! Thank you for making us apart of Art week and always being so accommodating. And most importantly thank you to all of our customers new and loyal. Every year we see so many faces, lots of new faces and some for the past 60 years!! Without your support we would not be able to fulfill our organizations mission. All proceeds go to educational endeavors, whether it be grants and scholarships for students, public gardens at Tyler arboretum and Historic Yellow Springs, educational programs and workshops, as well as supporting school gardens and community gardens in and around the Philadelphia area. Without all of you, none of this would happen, so thank you.
