Mission Statement: The purpose of
the Herb Society of Historic Saltsburg, founded in
1993 by Jeane Emge, is to plant and maintain an

herbs.
A Little About What We Do

several gardens around Saltsburg, dedicated to preserving and promoting
gardening in general and the perpetuation of herb lore and use in particular. If
