Maumee Valley Herb Society

We had warm, sunny weather this year for our plant sale. Many, many people stopped to visit with us, and most of them did buy herbs.  We had a large variety of wonderful herbs, and these plants found homes in many gardens throughout the Toledo area. If you weren’t there, you really missed an opportunity to purchase many herbs that the garden centers usually don’t stock.

Thank you to all of our members who worked at the sale, and also those who helped get everything ready in advance including painting the popsicle sticks that told what each plant cost. We also want to thank the people who came and bought plants from us. We hope that you come back again to visit with the Maumee Valley Herb Society at our next plant sale in May of 2008.

Next week will be the plant sale at the Toledo Botanical Garden. The Maumee Valley Herb Society will have more than 200 varieties of herbs for you to choose from. Our members will be available to help you decide which herbs to purchase, and to answer questions. If you are interested in culinary herbs, we will also have our Herb Chart that tells which herbs to use with various foods, and our cookbook “Herbal Market” in which you will find delicious recipes to choose from. If you are interested in fragrant herbs, or herbs for decorative uses, we will also have these.The plant sale will be open for TBG members only on Thursday, May 10 from 4 – 8 pm. Friday, the sale opens at 10 am for the public, and closes at 8 pm. On Saturday the hours are from 10 am – 5 pm. The sale will not be open on Sunday this year. To help you decide what herbs to buy, here is our list of herb plants. Come and see us.
