First HerbDay scheduled for October

Five national non-profit organizations working together as the HerbDay Coalition announces the first HerbDay will be Saturday, October 14, 2006. The HerbDay Coalition consists of the American Botanical Council (ABC), American Herbalist Guild (AHG), American Herbal Pharmacopoeia (AHP), American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), and United Plant Savers (UpS).

HerbDay is a series of public educational events celebrating the importance of herbs and herbalism through activities that will occur at retail stores, botanical gardens, and parks throughout North America. HerbDay activities will include events such as lectures and workshops by well-known herbalists, herb walks, in-store cooking demonstrations with herbs and spices, seasonal herbal handcrafts, in-store herbal beauty product demonstrations, and activities with herbal themes for children.
