We hope that you visit us at our next event. Sharing our love of anything herbal is what we do best. Check the calendar tab to see what we are up to next month. We typically meet each month. We normally gather around 6:00 pm for refreshments and to socialize. Our programs begin at 6:15 pm and our business meeting will be ~7:15-8:00 p.m. However, sometimes we take garden tours in place of meetings so be sure to check the calendar on the website for meeting dates and locations.
The Central Indiana Unit’s mission is to promote the knowledge, use, and delight of herbs through educational programs, research, and sharing the experience of our members with the community. We examine all elements of herbalism, though the interests of many members are primarily culinary and growing herbs. We welcome gardeners with all types of herbal interests and levels of gardening skills. We work towards the Spring Symposium every year, with our focus on the Herb of the Year as our structural guideline. The Herb of the Year 2027 is Flax, Linum usitatissimum! The slideshow below is a medley of previous events; we hope they entice you to join us in the future.
