Well Herbal Rose beat me to notifying everyone about our upcomding meeting. Here is a little more information. Thanks Herbal for putting this on because I probably would have forgotten!
SUBJECT: “Stevia Stevia rebaudiana” presented by Cindy Meredith
WHAT: Rockport Herb & Rose Study Group
WHEN: Second Wednesday of every month, next meeting November 10, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
WHERE: ACISD Maintenance Department (Formerly Rockport Elementary), 619 N. Live Oak Street, Room 14, Rockport, Texas
WHY: To educate those interested in herbs.
Cindy is a member of our group and proprietor of The Herb Cottage. She is going to present a program about Stevia, a relatively new herb to the USA . If you've ever tasted Stevia, you know it's extremely sweet. In fact, this remarkable noncaloric herb, native to Paraguay, has been used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer for centuries in other countries. So drop by and learn all about Stevia and its history and uses.
Come and learn everything you ever wanted to know about herbs. Did you know that there are over 2,000 herbs and that roses are herbs too? And did you know that many of our Texas Native Plants are also herbs? Herbs have been used for centuries for not only culinary purposes, but also for medicinal uses, in cosmetics, cleaning solutions, clothing (one of which is Gossypium cotton), building supplies and art and craft purposes.
Our herb study group was founded in March 2003 and meets the second Wednesday of every month at the ACISD Maintenance Department (Formerly Rockport Elementary), 619 N. Live Oak Street, Room 14, Rockport, Texas at 10:00 a.m. to discuss all aspects of using and growing herbs including the historical uses of the herbs and tips for successful propagation and cultivation. We are open to the public. Some members of the group are available as speakers to other audiences.
The Rockport Herb & Rose Study Group, founded in March 2003, is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to increasing public knowledge and awareness about herbs.
