HWB has helped get HUNDREDS of gardens growing! We have a Certified Permaculture Designer and Medicinal Herb Farmer who helps provide technical assistance and support.

And don't forget - HWB isn't only for herbalists! Our members include folks who create and manage educational gardens at museums, schools, clubs, churches, public parks, scout troops, prison gardens, community center gardens, food pantry gardens, and more! We can help you plan and organize the garden that works for your program.

When we consider global crises it is easy to feel overwhelmed and become disempowered. Creating community gardens that bring back medicinal herbs alongside wild foods of the local habitat is a tangible way to be a part of the solution. As we grow gardens we grow community. Food access is a health justice issue, and by getting healthy food gardens growing in communities, we can support communities in need. Many HWB groups grow food that they donate to local people via bins at free clinics or community events, or through their local food pantries. HWB Chapters also may include Grow a Row, Community Gardens, Food Gardens, Educational Herbal Gardens, and more.

HWB also has registered Chapters that respond with disaster relief after natural disasters such as forest fires, hurricanes, flooding, and earthquakes. Seed saving, seed banks, and seed swaps can help get a diversity of seeds and plants back into an area after natural disasters. Email the office for more information.
