Herb Festival
Arizona Herb Association’s 5th Annual
2021 Herb Festival
This year our festival will be online. Join us by Zoom for the live presentation by Keynote speaker and local author Kirti Mathura, as we celebrate native herbs, pollinators, and the national garden awards program by the Herb Society of America called GreenBridges™. Kirti Mathura will introduce us to key native herbs you can grow here in the Sonoran Desert to provide food, shelter and breeding places for birds, butterflies, and bees.
Plant lists and information on how your garden can become part of the garden chain are included. You will learn what it takes for your own yard to be certified as a GreenBridges™ garden creating opportunities for the safe passage of pollinators.
Following the Keynote talk (from 10-11am), will be a live Q&A where you can pose questions.
Your ticket also allows you week-long access to additional pre-recorded sessions with local experts on growing herbs in the low desert including planting, care, cultivation, and culinary demonstrations with native herbs. Included is a virtual tour of a certified GreenBridges™ garden!
