The St. Louis Herb Society invites you to stroll through the herb garden on a summer evening and learn about culinary uses of herbs grown in the garden.

This class will be held at The St. Louis Herb Society Herb Garden behind Tower Grove House in the Missouri Botanical Garden.

Herb Sale
Every year, in late April, The St. Louis Herb Society in collaboration with the Missouri Botanical Garden conducts an extensive sale of herbs.
The 2025 sale will be located at the Missouri Botanical Garden in the west parking lot in front of the new Jack C. Taylor Visitor Center. The sales area will be protected by a large tent.
The 2025 sale will take place on:
Thursday April 24, 5-7:30 pm (for members of the Missouri Botanical Garden only): and
Friday, April 25, 9 am to 4 pm or until the supply of available herbs has been exhausted (open to the pubic with free admission to the sale).
In 2025 more than 7,200 herbs and native pollinator plants including more than 125 varieties will be on sale. At each sale members of the Herb Society are on hand to answer questions and give advice on selecting, planting, growing, and using herbs.
Prior to the next sale we hope you will consider becoming a member of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Garden members can shop on Thursday during Member Event shopping hours. They have first crack at purchasing herbs and at a discounted price.
