“Herbal Heritage of the Great Plains”
Lawrence Kansas
October 22, 2005
The Great Plains Herb Growers Association would like to invite you to join us from 9 am until 4 pm for a Saturday filled with herbal education, interaction, networking and a great luncheon.
Our organization holds two workshops a year to educate the public and members about herbs, their uses, and the possibilities about growing your own supply of herbs, whether they are used solely for culinary uses, medicinal, aromatic, decoration or ceremony.
These workshops are our main fundraising opportunities and attendance is a great way to support a grass roots organization and at the same time meet some great people and hear some experts in the field.
