Maumee Valley Herb Society

Both of these meetings are workshops for Heralding the Holidays. This annual event is always the first weekend of December. This years dates and times are: Friday, December 4 from 5-9 pm, Saturday, December 5 from 10 am-5pm, and Sunday, December 6 from Noon to 5pm. Groups meeting at the Toledo Botanical Garden participate in this event. Some of these are the Toledo Artists Club, The Potters, the Glass Blowers, and the Rock Hounds.
During our workshops we decorate, label, and price our wares. Among our herbal items for sale are jams, jellies, mustards and vinegars, herbs, herbal blends and teas, pot pourri, wreaths, and craft items. We also have a silent auction and a bake sale. The money we earn is used in supporting the summer intern program at TBG, to purchase plants for the herb garden, and to help in other ways.
If you are looking for gifts that are a bit unusual for your self and for others, come and join us. You won’t be disappoionted. You will find us in the Conference Center at the Toledo Botanical Garden.

Our September meeting at the Wildwood Preserve Metropark in Toledo, Ohio, was both interesting and helpful to us. Our speaker, Stacy Walters, a Registered Knesiotherapist, demonstrated how body mechanics and various exercises can prevent aches and pains during our gardening sessions. Members of the Bedford Herb Group joined us at our meeting. We can now practice what we learned at this meeting and reap the benefits of her knowledge.
