Learn from our Speakers

The Western Reserve Herb Society promotes herbs as plants for use and delight and we love to share our joy and knowledge with others!

Discover the world of herbs with our expert speakers. Whether you’re seeking deeper knowledge  or fresh inspiration,  our   presentations offer something for everyone. Presentations cover everything from general herbal knowledge to areas such as specific herbs, herbal   gardening, historic roses, and harvesting herbs. We also offer creative connections to herbs such as making potpourris, creating herbal teas, growing natural dye plants, exploring beautiful pressed flower art, or delving into the delicious culinary uses of herbs. 

Our speaker fee is $100.   Workshops  may be available and would   likely include            additional fees if you are interested in a hands-on    experience for your group.

If your group would like to visit Cleveland Botanical Gardens, we offer in-depth tours of our large Herb Garden. We do not charge for our tours but we are happy to accept good will donations as our garden is supported in full by the members of the Western Reserve Herb Society.

Let your next event bloom with herbal inspiration.
