Come to Lincoln Square in Urbana to buy a herb or two to supplement your existing garden or start a new one! The Champaign-Urbana Herb Society will hold the annual herb sale on Saturday, May 11 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. (or until sold out) inside Lincoln Square, Urbana. Our annual plant sale is our only fundraising event and has become a much anticipated community tradition. Proceeds from the plant sale will go towards book donations to area libraries, mini-grants to schools and non-profit organizations, and to our educational public herb garden at Meadowbrook Park, Urbana. Sales by Grand Prairie Friends, the African Violet Society, Coyle Woodlands, and Twisted Twig Bonsai will take place at the same time and place as our sale. Members of the C-U Herb Society enjoy this opportunity to share their knowledge of herbs with customers. There are always members with lots of experience on hand to answer questions and give advice and information on local growing requirements.
