History[edit]
The HSA was founded in 1933 by seven women who were interested in learning more about the botany of herbs and their cultivation. They asked Edgar Anderson of the Arnold Arboretum for instruction and guidance. The women decided to form a society to further their own interest in herbs and expand the knowledge and use of herbs among others.[3]
To commemorate to the United States Bicentennial, the society planned a National Herb Garden at the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C. [4]
Its motto in its seal is "For use & for delight.[5]
Its national headquarters are adjacent to the Holden Arboretum outside of Cleveland, Ohio.[6]
It publishes a magazine The Herbalist once a year.[3]
