The next Herb Guild meeting will be on Thursday, May 16, 6:30 p.m., St. Luke Church, Bloomsburg.

This meeting is our plant sale and our only fundraiser for the year. Members are asked to bring plants and garden items to the side entrance between 6 and 6:30 pm. Label each item with the name of plant, care requirements and your name.
The wish list is at the bottom of this page. Contact Linda B with your questions about getting plants ready for the sale.

If you're buying plants, please remember to make name labels for the auction, bring a box to carry home your items and bring small bills for payment.

The May Herb of the Month is Lovage and will be presented by Ellisandra L.

Thanks to guest speaker, Sue Morris who spoke at our April program, "Herbal Allies, Plants with Benefits". She encouraged our guild members to try the herbs in our gardens for medicinal uses and discussed a number of uses. She brought an assortment of salves and tinctures for members to purchase. More info on each is available at her web site: suessalves.com

Don't forget to bring your seeds in labeled envelopes or baggies for the Bloomsburg Seed Library. We will be collecting them at our May meeting. The library requested seeds for vegetables, herbs and garden flowers.
