NorthEast Seacoast
The NorthEast Seacoast Unit of The Herb Society of America
Formed in 1987, The Herb Society's NorthEast Seacoast Unit is a 501 (c) 3 tax exempt organization dedicated to promoting the knowledge, use and delight of herbs through educational programs, research and sharing the experience of our members with the community.
Our meetings are held in the evenings on the last Tuesday of the month in the Portsmouth, New Hampshire vicinity. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in growing and/or the use of herbs.
