Why join

What membership brings

Dues are modest and go straight back into the garden — funding Herb Day, the Seed Library, and our community projects. Here's what comes with belonging.

Monthly programs

Guided talks and hands-on demonstrations every second Tuesday — from medicinal herbs to herbal crafts and sustainable growing.

Plant & seed swaps

Take home cuttings, seeds, and divisions from fellow members' gardens — and pass along your own surplus to good homes.

Plant walks & field trips

Seasonal walks identifying wild herbs in their native habitat, plus trips to gardens and nurseries across the region.

Early Herb Day access

First pick at the annual plant sale, plus the chance to help shape and run the Society's signature spring event.

The monthly letter

Our members' newsletter — what's blooming, what to plant, recipes to try, and every event on the calendar.

A community that gives back

Your dues fund the free Seed Library and community gardening projects across Walker County. Belonging does good.

Membership questions

Do I have to be an experienced gardener?

Not at all. Members range from first-time growers to lifelong herbalists. The whole point is learning from one another — beginners are genuinely welcome.

When are dues paid, and how?

Dues run the calendar year and are collected at the start of the year or when you join. Pay by cash or check at a meeting — we'll send details after you submit the form.

Can I attend before I join?

Yes — please do. Come to a meeting or two as our guest, free of charge, before deciding whether membership is right for you.

Where do my dues go?

Straight back into the community — funding the free Jasper Seed Library, Herb Day, and our shared gardening projects across Walker County.
