Come practice herbalism with us at our next monthly chapter meeting.
The AHG Louisiana Chapter meets once each month either via Zoom or at various locations in the New Orleans area. In order to make meetings accessible to herb lovers with varying work schedules, the date and meeting time changes each month and usually isn’t decided upon until a couple of weeks before the meeting. If you see a meeting you would especially like to attend, please shoot us an email with your preferred date & time, and we will do our very best to accommodate. We look forward to learning with you!
In each meeting, we discuss chapter business, visit with the plants, and usually have a presenter. Past and future presenter topics are listed below. Please let us know if you have a topic you would like to learn about, or are interested in being a presenter.
While we encourage membership in the American Herbalists Guild, as we are a sub-chapter and it is required to be a voting member, AHG membership is NOT a requirement to attend our meetings. All are welcome, and we look forward to practicing herbalism with you!
