Welcome to the Herb Society of America, Baton Rouge Unit
For everyone's safety, please wear facemasks and maintain at least 6 feet of distance from other attendees at all HSABR meetings and events.
Herb Day 2021
February 27, 2021, 8:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
UPDATE: We’ve just been notified that we must modify our plans for our Herb Day 2021 plant sale. Because of COVID restrictions affecting the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens, we are limited to 150 people on-site at any one time. To schedule your time slot, please go to Eventbrite; we regret that there is a $5 charge for this, but we will apply it toward the price of any plants you purchase. Be sure to bring your EventBrite ticket on your phone or printed out; it is both your admission ticket and can be used as cash at checkout.
*********************
In light of the current situation, Herb Day 2021 will be a plant sale only—safe, masked, and distanced. It will be held at the LSU AgCenter Botanic Gardens at Burden, 4560 Essen Lane, Baton Rouge.
We will have hundreds of fine plants and will have a distanced line, everyone masked, so you can safely come and see the plants and choose the ones you want.
There will be no classes, or music, or vendors, or other activities with crowds, and masks are absolutely required.
This is a plants-only event, but what plants! Everything from oregano to fennel to parsley to basil to rosemary to lavender, and some very interesting home-grown ones like turmeric and society garlic, and many more.
We're looking forward to seeing you on February 27, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

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.
