A few of Herbies joined our long time friend and fellow MN Herb Society member, Barbara, to celebrate her 90th Birthday. We were treated with a Bach organ recital at the Plymouth Congregational Church. Accomplished organist, Philip Brunelle was accompanied by oboeist, Robert McManus. Thank you Barbara for a lovely summer afternoon filled with music and friends.
The MN Herb Society (formerly the Twin City Herb Society) was founded by Helen Olsen in 1963 to encourage the study, growing, & use of herbs. We are involved & committed to the MN Landscape Arboretum, maintaining the Kitchen Herb Garden, the Fragrant Herb Garden and the Knot Garden. We continue to be a group of Herb Enthusiasts that are well known, active, forward looking, fun loving, & interested in bringing our knowledge of herbs to the public.

Just a little Birthday Party
The Birthday Girl & the crew.
Philip Brunelle & Robert McManus.
One of the 4 seasonal tapestries. They were hand stitched and have taken 40 years to complete all four pieces of art. The idea formed in 1968 and the last tapestry was completed in 2012. These pieces measure 25' width × 16 1/2' height.
Close up of the tapestry. Check out that needlework.
We were told that people do sit on these benches.
