The annual Champaign-Urbana Herb Society Herb Sale is returning to Lincoln Square this May! It is scheduled for Saturday, May 7, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (or until sold out).
The annual plant sale is their only fundraising event and has become a much anticipated community tradition. Proceeds from the plant sale will go towards book donations to area libraries, mini-grants to schools and non-profit organizations, and to their educational public herb garden at Meadowbrook Park. Members of the Herb Society enjoy this opportunity to share their knowledge of herbs with customers. Just in time for Mother’s Day, they will be joining Coyle Woodlands Plants, allowing customers to purchase a variety of plants and learn about the environment in our area.
The Champaign-Urbana Herb Society is a non-profit organization and is dedicated to studying and encouraging interest in herbs. They maintain a public garden at Meadowbrook Park in Urbana, which features theme herb beds, such as tea, culinary, dye, and medicinal. Monthly meetings feature a guest speaker on a different topic and a presentation of “Herb of the Month” by one of the members. Meetings are open to the public.
