Understanding Plants Through

Nature and Science

đŸ€Who We Are

For over 30 years, the West Virginia Herb Association has been where plant people gather.

From backyard growers to seasoned herbalists, we’ve connected thousands through hands-on learning, community events, and a shared love for Appalachian plant wisdom.

If herbs are your passion—or your curiosity—this is where you belong.

No boring webinars. No surface-level meetups.
Our spring and fall events are where the real magic happens—farm visits, deep-dive workshops, hands-on classes, and plant walks with people who get it.
