Our purpose is to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of herbs, guided by our mission to promote their knowledge, use, and delight. We offer diverse programs, including educational tours, lectures, plant sales, and an annual symposium. Join us in celebrating the beauty and benefits of herbs through our engaging community and enriching activities!
Our 2026 Herb Symposium at the Pond House Café in Elizabeth Park was a delight! Featured speaker Janice Cox — nationally recognized author and educator — brought her expertise and infectious enthusiasm for herbs, roses, and natural beauty, inspiring attendees to see their gardens (and everyday lives) in a whole new light. She encouraged us to grow roses at home and explore using them in cooking, crafting, and homemade care products.
The full house in the Pond House Garden Room savored beautiful, rose-themed salads, entrées, and desserts crafted by the café’s executive chef. Guests also browsed handmade culinary and crafted treasures at the Herbal Boutique, and took in a gorgeous afternoon strolling our Herb Garden in Elizabeth Park
We invite everyone to join Elizabeth Park Thymes and help organize and participate efforts needed to maintain our beautiful herb garden.
