How to Join the Madison Herb Society

Updated

The Madison Herb Society accepts new members through the Membership section of its website, madisonherbsociety.org. The site's navigation includes a dedicated Membership page alongside About Us, Meetings & Events, Annual Herb Fair, Contact Us, Community Partners, and Herb Related Links, so you can review membership details and then reach out with any questions through the Contact Us page. The organization describes itself as focused on herb gardening education, culture, and community, with activities connected to Olbrich Gardens.

What the Society Is

Madison Herb Society is a herb gardening education group. Its stated purpose combines three things:

  • Education — learning about growing and using herbs
  • Culture — the culinary, historical, and practical sides of herbs
  • Community — connecting with other herb growers in the Madison area

The website notes that gatherings and programming take place in connection with Olbrich Gardens, a public garden in Madison, Wisconsin.

Steps to Join

  1. Go to madisonherbsociety.org. The homepage lists the main sections of the site.
  2. Open the Membership page. This is where the society presents what membership involves and how to sign up.
  3. Read About Us if you want background on the organization's history and mission before committing.
  4. Check Meetings & Events to see what members actually do — meeting formats, seasonal programs, and the Annual Herb Fair.
  5. Use Contact Us to ask any question the Membership page doesn't answer, such as current dues, meeting location, or whether beginners are welcome.

Practical Notes

  • The site is in English and serves the Madison, Wisconsin area, so in-person events assume local attendance.
  • The homepage does not publish dues, meeting times, or a sign-up form directly — those details live on the Membership and Meetings & Events pages.
  • The site uses cookies and shows a consent banner on first visit; you can decline or accept without affecting access to the membership information.
  • If you are new to herb gardening, the About Us and Herb Related Links sections are the fastest way to gauge whether the society's level matches yours.

If the Membership page leaves anything unclear — cost, meeting schedule, or how to attend a first event as a guest — the Contact Us page is the intended route for those questions.
