BLOOMINGTON -- The Illinois Herb
Association announces this year's HerbFest, scheduled for June 9,
from 8:30 a.m. to 3:10 p.m., at Washington Park Botanical Garden in
Springfield.

 The event will feature sessions hosted by a variety of speakers,
including medical social worker Lynn Waters; Susan Saniie of
Dayempur Herbals; Cathy Lafrenz, owner of Miss Effie's Country
Flowers and Garden Stuff; and Deborah Niemann-Boehle, author of
"Homegrown & Handmade: A Practical Guide to More Self-Reliant
Living."
"Each year, the Illinois Herb Association's HerbFest seems to
grow, and we don't expect this year to be an exception -- especially
with our excellent lineup of speakers and presentations," said Kay
Carnes, president of the association. "We're really looking forward
to diving into some new topics and sessions, including 'Herbs and
Breast Health' and 'How to Make Herbal Tinctures.'"
The event is open to anyone wishing to learn more about growing
or using herbs.
