The Herb Society of America, Inc. was founded in 1933. HSA is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization that focuses on furthering the knowledge and use of herbs, and contributing the results of the experience and research of its members to the records of horticulture, science, and the related arts. The motto of The Society, “For Use and For Delight”, is taken from the 17th century herbalist, John Parkinson.
The Society maintains a library at its National Headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, produces a variety of publications and educational programs, coordinates networking and learning opportunities, and awards grants to researchers and educators. Many HSA members create and/or maintain public herb gardens. In these gardens, visitors can see first-hand how to grow and use herbs. Projects of The Society include fostering plant collections, investigating promising herb plants, and supporting an intern at the National Herb Garden located at the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. This 2.5 acre public garden was a gift from the HSA to the nation in 1980. More information on the HSA may be obtained from accessing the website at www.herbsociety.org .
