HSA's District Gatherings
Along with the Society’s annual conferences, our districts organize regional gatherings. The gatherings are a more local, affordable way to connect with your fellow herb enthusiasts. They are each unique and offer wonderful learning opportunities that can include presentations, workshops, demonstrations, tours, and great food.
