Rockport Herb and Rose Study Group is an active group in the Rockport area. The herb study group was founded in March 2003 and meets the second Wednesday of every month at the ACISD

Live Oak Street, Room 14, Rockport, Texas at 10:00 a.m. to discuss all aspects of using and growing herbs including the historical uses of the herbs and tips for successful propagation and cultivation. They are open to the public. Some members of the group are available as speakers to other audiences. The group sponsors an annual Herb Festival the first Saturday in April.
This site is full of forums on many different aspects of gardening, a calender of events, seed swaps and more. Worth looking at, for sure.
HerbDay is a coordinated series of independently produced public educational events celebrating the importance of herbs and herbalism. HerbDay was conceived of by five nonprofit organizations with interests in herbs and herbalism (the HerbDay Coalition), to raise public awareness about the significance of herbs in our lives and the many ways herbs can be used safely and creatively for health, beauty care, and culinary enjoyment. Greater familiarity with herbs will increase informed use of herbal products and build public support for maintaining personal choice in the use of botanicals.
The date for HerbDay 2008 is set: Saturday, October 11
The first HerbDay was held on Saturday, October 14, 2006. The second annual HerbDay was Saturday, October 13. And in 2008, it will officially be on October 11. Some folks celebrate before, during and after that day. Participants in HerbDay 2006 brought together individuals, businesses, and organizations that share a love and passion for herbs and herbal medicine. These include herbalists and health care providers using herbs in their practice; authors, teachers and lecturers with expertise in herbs; herbal product manufacturers and marketers; retailers and distributors of herbal goods; botanical gardens, parks, and schools ‹ and most importantly, the people and families who love to use herbs! HerbDay 2008 will be just as much fun!
