Proceeds from this event support the Austin Herb Society and its efforts to provide education and encourage the cultivation and use of herbs in landscaping, and their beneficial purposes: medicinal, culinary, and aromatic. Our main project is the support of the Herb Garden in Zilker Botanical Garden.
Come see the herb garden in its new location.
We’ll have guided tours of the Herb Garden leaving from the Education Tent at 11 a.m., 12 and 1 p.m. Plan to walk around and see herbs in the garden – then be inspired to get some plants to take home to start or add to your own home garden.
