Welcome to the South Texas Unit's web site.

Pam Harris's Easy Chicken and Pasta recipe from the Herb Day demonstration, "There's an Herb in My Soup?!" is now posted on the Herb Day page.

The Herb Society has recently published a wonderful reference book and cookbook titled  The Herb Society of America's Essential Guide to Growing and Cooking With Herbs (click the hyperlink to read a review and order).  This book is well-researched, well-written and loaded with herbal information.  Additionally, it contains pages of recipes contributed by and thoroughly tested by Herb Society members from around the country.

The South Texas Unit of The Herb Society of America, Inc. is a non-profit, service and educational organization founded in 1968.  The national organization was founded in 1933 and has "units" and "members at large" throughout the United States and Canada.  The Herb Society of America is dedicated to promoting the knowledge, use and delight of herbs through educational programs, research and sharing the experience of its members with the community. The motto of The Herb Society of America, "For Use and For Delight," is taken from the herbalist John Parkinson.

The South Texas Unit is an autonomous body, but follows the precepts of the national organization.  It is a plant oriented society, but enjoys and delves into all herbally related subjects.  The Herb Society of America and The South Texas Unit are not medically oriented.
