Wild Herb Weekend's Purpose
The NC Herb Association is a non-profit growers association dedicated to educating people about herbs and their uses.
Join NCHA members each July to participate in an exciting weekend full of classes, workshops, and plant walks. Come learn from the experts about growing, using, selling, and sharing medicinal herbs. Learn about new growing practices for farmers, natural first-aid for the family, and incorporating herbs into delicious meals. Spend downtime conversing with vendors, attendees, and experts while enjoying the mountain vista. Classes include offerings for farmers, homesteaders, foragers, practitioners, and hobbyists. Connect with peers from across North Carolina and the Southeast!
