Look for an HerbDay event in your area, or it's not too late to hold an 
event in your area.  I'll be at the USBG in D.C. for HerbDay - hope to see 
you there!

Happy Herbing!

The second national HerbDay is October 13th and you are invited to 
celebrate the importance of herbs and herbalism!


What is it?  A coordinated series of of independently produced public 
educational events celebrating the importance of herbs and herbalism in 
the U.S. and abroad!

HerbDay was conceived of by the HerbDay Coalition to raise public 
awareness about the significance of herbs in our lives and the many ways 
herbs can be used safely and creatively for health, beauty care, and 
culinary enjoyment. Greater familiarity with herbs will increase informed 
use of herbal products and build public support for maintaining personal 
choice in the use of botanicals.

Find an HerbDay event near you!  To participate in HerbDay (either as an 
event organizer or attendee), visit www.herbday.org.

HerbDay activities range from lectures and workshops by herbalists; herb 
walks; cooking demonstrations featuring herbs and spices; seasonal herbal 
handcrafts; herbal beauty product demonstrations; demonstrations by herb 
company representatives; and children's activities with herbal themes.
