- Member Business Directory
- One of the benefits of membership of the Herb Society - our members are
entitled to have their businesses listed on our web site. Forms to submit
your information to be posted on the site are available from the Membership
Chair at General Meetings or contact the web master at:
herbsocietymb@mts.net. Get your business listed on the
Internet.

- The Bev Lloyd Memorial Library
-
The Bev Lloyd Memorial Library is a great resource available to members
of the Herb Society. Books can be loaned out at General Meetings of the
Society. Each year, all books are collected at the Annual
General Meeting (AGM) which is held in June, and are then made
available again for borrowing the following September.
If there is a specific book you are interested in borrowing, you
can contact the Library Chairs at:
herbsocietymb@mts.net to check on availability and arrange
for that particular book to be brought to the next General
Meeting. Due to the increasing size of the library, not all
available books are brought to each meeting. Emailing in advance
ensures that the book you want to borrow, if available, is
brought to the next meeting for you to borrow.

- Herbal Programming
- One of the benefits of membership of the Herb Society is our
informative programming. General Meetings of the Herb Society of Manitoba are held at Assiniboine Park Conservatory. The
Conservatory is located at 15 Conservatory Drive in Assiniboine
Park, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and are
generally held on the second Thursday of each month except for December,
July and August. The schedule for this calendar year is listed
on our Speakers page. Attendance at meetings is free to our
members. Guests are welcome. There is a $5.00 fee for guests to attend.
Meetings generally begin with a brief presentation of Herb
Society business, then there is a short break. The Hospitality
Committee provides herbal goodies for everyone to try during the
break. Right after the break, the speaker begins their
presentation. To find out
more about other upcoming events, check our
Herbal Happenings page. Questions or ideas for programming, please contact the web
master at:
herbsocietymb@mts.net.
- Herb Garden
- The Herb Garden located near the Conservatory at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg Manitoba is one of our
proudest accomplishments. The garden
became a reality in the spring of 1997 when the Women's Television
Network (WTN) was filming a program called the Herbal Primer.
The Herb Society of Manitoba continues to maintain and develop this
lovely garden designed by Landscape Architect and Herb Society member,
Natasa Juck. Herb Society members volunteer their time and efforts each
season to plant, maintain and harvest herbs from the garden. Donations
toward the ongoing upkeep of the garden can be made by sending a cheque
or money order made out to the Herb Society of Manitoba: Herb Garden and
mailing it to the Herb Society of Manitoba, c/o the Assiniboine Park
Conservatory, 15 Conservatory Drive, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3P 2N5. Make
sure you visit our lovely garden when you visit the park.
- Prairie Sage Quarterly
- The Society distributes an interesting and informative quarterly
publication to its membership called The Prairie Sage Quarterly.
The Quarterly contains information about our upcoming speakers and
activities as well as informative book reviews and articles on the use of
herbs, including great herbal recipes to try. Select back issues are
available for viewing from this page.
- Government Services
- This page will help you locate government services for starting up your
own herbal business or to promote your herbal product.
- Herbal Recipes
- The Herb Society has published two cookbooks to date, both of which are
out of print and no longer available. This page highlights some of our
favourite herbal recipes and is meant as a resource to our members. If you
have a favourite herbal recipe you would like to see added to this page,
email the web master at:
herbsocietymb@mts.net.
