1953

The highlight of the year was a “Cook’s Tour” of fifteen St. Louis area kitchens and gardens. Herb  products and potted herbs were sold at one stop. Net proceeds benefitted the Missouri Botanical Garden and herb gardens which members had helped to develop at the Campbell House, the Peoples Art Center, and Washington University.

The photo of Society members hard at work in preparation for the tour comes from the the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, October 4, 1953, page 4D. At that time, The St. Louis Herb Society had 50 members.
