If you haven't already renewed your membership in HSABR...
It's time! Our membership year runs from October to October, so please get your renewals in as soon as possible. And if you're not yet a member, now is a great time to remedy that situation!
Your membership in the Herb Society of America, Baton Rouge Unit (HSABR), includes all of the benefits of the national organization as well as our local unit. There are many wonderful benefits to membership, including numerous opportunities to learn and delight in the use of herbs. Our programs include lectures on a wide range of topics related to growing, cooking and using herbs. We also spend time tending to our community gardens in companionship with other members who are passionate herb devotees!
Membership in the Herb Society of America gives you access to the members-only area on the website and many HSA publications, including the HSA Quarterly Newsletter, Unit Connections, HerbalBytes, and GreenBridges™ newsletters, among others. HSA also offers informative webinars that provide our members with the opportunity to share their knowledge, delight, and use of herbs, as well as their varied experiences with a larger herbal community. Members can browse HSA's unique herb-related library, with over 3,500 volumes with topics ranging from vintage books on horticulture to modern fiction. Plus, you get exclusive discounts for online herb products, magazines, online herb classes, and reduced or free admission to public gardens and arboreta through AHS' Reciprocal Admissions Program.
Please visit the HSA's Membership page for a full list of benefits. In addition, being a member of HSABR puts you in contact with a pretty fine group of local folks who can help inspire you, assist you, and sympathize with you in your herbal pursuits!
Dues run from October to October, so the fee will be prorated if you join (not renew!) in a different month (click here for proration chart). You may pay by PayPal or check. The PayPal link will be on the confirmation page that comes up after submitting the membership application form, but if possible, please mail your check (payable to HSABR) to the address on the membership form, as that saves us PayPal fees and saves our treasurer a fair amount of hassle.
Please note: Your renewal/application is not complete until payment is received.
