Letting you know that the shop will be closed this Saturday October 4 so we can run Herbfest on the Sturbrdige Common 9:30. Go to www.sturbridgeherbfest.com to pre-register.

This Herbfest is a brainchild of three local herbalists: Salli Greene, Jo Anne Grubert, and Chris Haller. There are very few herbal conferences nationally and none in this area. This can make it difficult for herbalists, young and old, male and female, to gain more education in a conference setting....
